LAND & GROUNDS: The whole site inc. the Cattery is 3.78 acres (*TBV). The acreage and or land shown / stated on any map and or screen print for the property is *TBV – (To Be Verified), which means that the land has not been formally measured and or verified by Equus and or its sellers/clients. A Title Plan from Land Registry will have been acquired, where available, showing the boundary and acreage. Otherwise, an online measuring tool will have been used to ‘check’ the acreage against the Land Registry Title where possible. Interested applicants / buyers are advised that if they have any doubts as to the plot size and wish to have verification of the titles and exact area of the entire plot/s, they will be required to make their own arrangements, at their own cost, by appointing the services of a Solicitor acting on their behalf and an accredited / qualified company who can measure the area for a compliant Land Registry Title Plan.
Ashdown Forest Commoners: A Commoner is a person who enjoys a specific Right of Common over Ashdown Forest. There are about 730 properties in and around the Forest that retain these rights.
Anyone buying a house or land in the vicinity of the Forest may find themselves to be Commoners. Apart from some of the pastoral rights (grazing animals and wood-cutting), Commoners are entitled to vote for representatives on the Board of Conservators, and are obliged to pay a Forest Rate, which goes towards the expense of managing the Forest.
In March, the commoners hold an annual meeting, where the commoner conservators are elected. Information about the commoners meeting is published from the end of January.
