Am having first looks at a Plan B property (see my other post about access rights for another property). It's a rural refurb, cosmetic condition looks ok (roof, walls, floors ok, no obvious damp) has two obvious issues: it only has pedestrian access from the road, and it's listed (grade 2) but not very "special".
On a decent sized plot, and has a large frontage on the boundary with the highway on two sides and there looks to be a small grassy space for a possible unofficial pull-in right along the front of the house, but that space is shallow (only looks like about 3m deep), the curb must be 6 or 7 inches and there's a public footpath running in front of that along the road.
Apart from right in front of the house, the front boundary is marked mostly by a hedge, with a small bit of fence either side of the house, something like this (pardon my cr*p drawing):
Questions:
- the house is just at the turn at a junction of two rural 40mph A roads. Is creating car access at a junction very likely to be blocked by highways?
- is listed status likely to affect opening up car access?
