AGENT'S NOTE:
Prospective buyers are advised that remedial works were undertaken at Berrister Cottage as a result of a subsidence claim made by the present vendors. The works were completed in October 2021 and paperwork relating to the claim is available to view on request at our office.

We are also informed that there are two wells beneath the conservatory floor. One is capped off, the other is serviced by an electronic pump which automatically regulates the water level.
