MATERIAL INFORMATION
Somerset Council Tax Band B

The property is Grade II listed and located within the town's designated Conservation Area.

We believe that historically there were rights of way in the terrace for neighbours to have access to sanitary facilities and a well which are no longer used. We were informed by the previous owner that 44 East Street had a historic right of way across the garden of no.46. We are happy to provide a copy of the title register to buyers if they would like to take advice from their legal representative regarding the existence of any rights of way.

The property is close to both the town centre and open countryside so there have been various historic and current planning applications locally. These include a well known application in 2014 for development of the Shudrick Valley which was refused. All current and historic applications can be viewed on the Somerset Council Planning Portal, and the office are happy to provide the link should a prospective buyer wish to look at these prior to a viewing. There is a current application reference 26/00223/FUL for one dwelling and formation of parking off Love Lane.
