After moving in, we received planning permission to extend at the back creating the resulting T-shaped building. Eventually the original part was re-done to match, with brickwork, stone fascia, new roofing and so on."Services: Mains electricity and water; oil-fired central heating supporting underfloor heating throughoutLocal Authority: South Kesteven District CouncilCouncil Tax Band: DTenure: FreeholdEPC Rating:E
