Viewings
Potential purchasers may view the property during reasonable daylight hours after informing the vendor’s agents, on 01823 428590, and with a set of these sales particulars in hand. The rear elevation of the property appears to be unstable and should only therefore be viewed from the roadside and not within the boundary of the property.

Directions
From the village of Hemyock, follow signs from Hemyock Methodist Church to Clayhidon, Churchstanton and Churchinford. Take Culmbridge Road, passing Hemyock Post Office on the right-hand side.
