The bungalow was extended some years ago adding a Kitchen, Dining Room and bathroom which is entered from the porch.

The kitchen has an Aga style range cooker which is heated by solid fuel and also provides heat to the radiators. Having free electricity, it would be prudent to change the system to an electric cooker. The sitting room has a large wood burning stove for extra heat if required.

The electricity supply for the property is provided by Hydrover Ltd who also have an agreement to lease a small patch of the land to produce electricity from a Hydro Scheme at the lower end of the land. The lease is just under £4,000 and is index linked. The same company supply an agreed 6,600kWh free of charge for the remainder of the lease which was a 20 year lease which expires in approximately 11 years’ time. There is no standing charge for the supply of electricity. When completed, the lease will be renewed for a further 20 years. 6,600 kWh is approximately double the average usage of a household. The above details have been proved by the current owner and will

have to be verified by the buyer’s solicitor.
