AGENTS NOTES
This beautiful property has been in the same family, although different generations, since 1962. As with many old properties the title is slightly unique, in that the legal title is broken up into three sections which can be clearly seen on the title plan. The land between these sections is a historic communal court yard, affording the property access between areas. This is how the legal title stands to date, however over the years in practice the communal court yard has been divided by fences with a gate, to provide a private back yard for each property, with a right of access when needed.
