Agents Notes - The property is located on the former A391 with current development taking place almost opposite which is known as the Eco Village, currently under construction and we are lead to believe it will be landscaped in front of the property with a walkway trail. However this has not been confirmed. The parking in front of the garage is not on the registered title and is owned by a neighbour however it does benefit from vehicular and pedestrian access. As you turn right out of the property you can walk along onto the clay trails and to the Carclaze Inn and Restaurant.
