Conservatory (2.49m x 2.23m)

Herringbone flooring, double glazed windows and double doors giving access to the garden at the rear. Note; we understand from the seller that over the 27 years that she has lived at the property, cracks have opened and closed where the conservatory is attached to the rear of the house. The seller understands that there are no footings and that it was built on a raft and was checked some 10 years ago and was told that it is due to the way it was built and seasonal movement. This being said, an incoming buyer may well look to extend the property anyway and potentially remove the conservatory, thus alleviating the issue.
