Site

This was previously the site of a tannery which included four buildings and vats (circa-1860s). The use of the site as a tannery is understood to have ceased in the early 1900s. The site offers an infill development opportunity, as shown edged red on the Sale Plan (approximately 0.13 hectares). It is generally flat, sloping upwards along the northwestern boundary and comprises two redundant buildings and is bound by shrubbery and brick walls to the north and west, with metal and wooden fences to the east and south.

Rights of Way, Easements & Wayleaves

The property benefits from a right of way over Tanyard Garth, from the public highway to the property. The property is sold subject to and with the benefit of all existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way, public and private, whether specifically mentioned or not.
