When Pauline Clark moved in to her bungalow in a smart cul-de-sac, it was meant to be the perfect location to see out her working life in peace and quiet.
Instead, the widow ended up being plunged into a five-year boundary dispute which saw her give up her job in local government due to ill health triggered by the row over a 1ft strip of land with next-door neighbour Jenny Field.
Now Ms Field, 76, faces selling her home to cover a £113,000 legal bill after losing the dispute over the boundary between the two women's bungalows.
The pensioner's feud with grandmother Mrs Clark, 64, began in 2020 over the placement of a new party fence and resulted in a civil court case that Ms Field lost.
Her legal bill was initially under £14,000, but she repeatedly challenged the ruling.
