Notes From The Vendor Re Flooding And Fishing

"No the house has never flooded as far as we know. Certainly not in living memory as our 93 year old neighbour has told us. The garden does flood but has 3 terraces and the highest it’s ever flooded to is just below the Appletree, about 2m below the Garage and workshop. But neither the house or outbuildings have ever flooded as far as we know. Once the river reaches a certain level it floods the fields opposite. Regarding the fishing platform, yes you have the right to fish from it. Riparian Rights permit you to fish from your own property, but you would still need a Rod licence according to the Environment agency".

Council Tax

The property is in Band D.
