Unadopted road
Comments

We live on a private road. We bought our house last year and were aware that it was a private road.
It is not a through road and there are only 2 houses on the road.
On our title documents the road infront of our driveway is ours and the road infront of our neighbours driveway is theirs.
Before we bought the house we did ask the seller about the arrangement for repairs and they said they shared any costs 50:50 if anything needed done. They had in the past filled a few pot holes.
I believe the fact that the house was on a private road put other potential buyers off (good for us!) and it was a factor in us getting the house at a good price.
How many other houses share the private road and is it a through road or a road to a field or anything? Would people walk along this unadopted road?
It's funny as its a dead end street once you get to the end you have to turn back. It has a pavement all the way down and the bottom half is paved and tarmaced it's just the short beginning section0
