Not sure on services but would assume there is a connection for electric and septic tank at least. Looking at the state of the main building the electric won't have been turned on...

    Hi. Bumping to see if anyone can advise... I have bought a light and extension and will be heading into the loft in the next couple of weeks for myself to see if there is anything amiss there.
