Drive and hedges

​

The private drive is shared by the five barns, the farmhouse opposite and the modern barn conversion nearing the end of the lane.

It is a concrete drive that needs little maintenance.

​

The natural country hedges on either side are cut once a year and the cost shared between all properties. It amounts to approximately £25-£30 per property.

​The cost includes additional hedging cut around the campervan/caravan parking areas.

​

The grass verges beside the drive that can be left to grow natural wild flowers or an arrangement can be made with the other properties as to what would be preferred. One of the property owners may be happy to take over the cutting of it for a nominal shared fee.

​

The drive that runs to the garages is gravelled as well the areas around the garage.

​

All these areas are marked on the land layout plan.
