The location of The Park Cottage is also a significant advantage. 
The property also has a restrictive covenant that prevents additional dwellings on Dacre, the neighbouring house.

This means that any potential buyer would need to obtain permission from the council before carrying out any work on the tree.
In summary, The Park Cottage offers a blend of period charm, modern amenities, and a prime location, making it a desirable property for potential buyers.
The price of GBP1,195,000 reflects the property's features and its significant size.
