During the period between 10th June and 13th September there will be various works being carried out on the tractor shed that backs onto the garden of the property. Access to the garden may be required during your stay and there is to be a certain level of noise to be expected.
The owner has put a temporary fence in the garden so that they can gain access to the rear of the tractor store.
