General Remarks

holdover in favour of the vendor to enable the harvest

2.
Purchaser to install a sub-meter
3.

maintenance, repair and replacement of the
borehole and associated equipment.
4.
The vendor (and his successors in title) will
undertake to maintain and repair the borehole
and associated equipment

Staffordshire village of Bobbington, on the county border
with Shropshire.

turn onto Six Ashes Road signposted towards
Bobbington past the Six Ashes Pub. Continue along the

hand side as indicated by the Agent’s For Sale Board.
