Services

There is mains gas and electricity. Foul water runs to the septic tank which is on the adjacent farm's field. Mains water is via a private connection to the farm. There is a Deed of Covenant between the adjacent Farm and Gurdall Cottage maintaining the private water supply and septic tank waste facility. The water meter and septic tank are adjacent to the property, on the farmer's land. The water supply (managed by Severn Trent) is via a private supply line from Winster, over the farmer's land as there is no water main along the road.

Important Notes

Gurdall Cottage is classified as a holiday cottage but now with a certificate of lawful use. The 28 Day residential clause has been removed, allowing permanent residency. This renders the cottage unsuitable for use as a holiday home or second home. The attached outbuilding, at a right angle to the main dwelling has no planning consent as a domestic extension. It has always been declared as a garage, games room and utility since 1986. Should you require further details on this then please contact Shaun Grant at the agent's office or email him on
