THE GARDENS

3 Oatlands Avenue is approached off a no through private lane and via two gated entrance driveways providing ample parking to the front of the property. A large gravelled area is located to the side of the property where former planning was approved for the enlargement of the accommodation incorporating a garage with accommodation above. Whilst this planning permission has now lapsed, we have been informed that the relevant commencement conditions were discharged due to works being implemented prior to the expiration of the consent and therefore may remain valid.
