If interested parties consider that having such large amount of land may well be not to their requirements we have interest from adjoining farmers for the purchase of the land. This would be not of an insignificant value and is without a doubt very flexible.
A footpath runs down the lane and along the boundary of the field and gardens. This footpath is fenced in and is not visible from the home and the home is not visible from the footpath. This very rurally located footpath is gently used and provides the owners with delightful access to walks across beautiful countryside, nearby farmland and easy access heading up towards Upper Cumberworth and beyond.
