Agents Notes:
We understand that UK Power Networks have a lease agreement for access, as and when required across the parking area to the small substation annexed to the rear of the boundary. We are advised from the seller that in reality this is infrequent, and generally for the cutting back of foliage etc. We also understand that this also extends to the possible maintenance of buried cables.

This property is linked to the neighbouring house by the garage conversion. The internal images of 2 Prentice Place were provided by the current owner.
