The grounds offer access to communal gardens and a building managed by a share of freehold (999-year lease from 2017).<br/><br/>Planning permission allows for both permanent residency and short-term holiday letting, making this a flexible and lucrative investment for owner-occupiers, second-home buyers, or investors.
