AGENTS NOTE’S
1. Please note when approaching the property through the first five bar gate with the house name “Dovecote”, this access road is within the ownership of Dovecote which leads up all the way to the second five bar gate where a neighbouring property begins. Three properties have a right of way over this track which includes New Barn behind, Part Lodge in front and _____ Barn beside which the property adjoins. This is both a vehicular and pedestrian right of way.
2. Please note the two large steel barns behind the property are to be removed before New Barn is occupied, further adding to the rear outlook.
3. Please note the gable end of New Barn is currently designed as such to face away from this particular property and will therefore not spoil privacy of the main garden. Current designs and elevations are available from both the Agents office and Cornwall Council website.
