Lot 2 (Drawn @ 1,935 sq ft/280 sq m)
A single-storey open plan kitchen, living and dining space with three/four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Outside both lots will have private gardens, with a further extended area of adjoining field.

If the plots are sold separately, definitive boundaries between them will be agreed on site. A right of way across Lot 2 will be retained for the benefit of Lot 1.
