Agent's Note - 1: There are reasonable prospects of obtaining planning permission for an annexe in the garden where historically buildings stood.
This could be undertaken under householder permitted development rights, or via a householder planning application.
This would need to be subject to the usual planning permissions and investigation into the implications regarding the covenant.
