I live on a private lane over which we have a "right of way" to our property.
The boundary to our property is the natural root hedge line and does not extend to the verge or roadway.
The thing I am questioning is the adjoining landowner (owner of laneway) never maintained the boundary of our property cut hedging etc, this was done by a local farmer for years.
The adjoining landowner is a "farmer" and when cutting his hedgerow yearly on all his land he stops at the beginning of the roadside boundary to our garden does not cut the hedging infront of our house/garden and then continues to cut the hedging at the farside of our property.
The house has been her for 30 years and the boundary fronting onto the lane has always been maintained by the occupants of our house.
Does this extinguish the rights of the landowner with regard to the hedge boundary? Can we claim a stake to this land?
This is not a "land grab" we are after we just want to properly maintain this piece of land.
Any advise?
