School Lane, Collingham, LS22 5BQ

Set back from one of Collingham’s most peaceful and central positions, this long-held family home has quietly sat at the heart of generations for over 60 years.

Built by respected local craftsmen, it offers generous, well-balanced accommodation, a private south-west facing garden and rare flexibility, all within moments of village life.

Now ready to be restored and reimagined, it presents a genuine opportunity to create something exceptional.

Approached via a drive-in, drive-out driveway, it holds a sense of privacy and presence that is rarely found so close to the centre of the village.

Built by the well-regarded local builder Mr Fish and son, the house has remained within the same family for over six decades.

During that time it has been more than a home, it has been a place of gathering, of routine, of family life unfolding across generations.

It now offers the opportunity for its next custodian to take it forward. The accommodation is both generous and well balanced.

At its heart sits a principal living space with a double aspect, filled with natural light and connected seamlessly to a further reception room and dining area.

These spaces flow naturally, offering the scale and flexibility expected of a home designed for both everyday living and larger family occasions.

To the rear, and quietly positioned, the annexe provides a particularly versatile addition. Accessed from the main house yet set apart, it enjoys a tranquil outlook across the garden.

It has served a number of purposes over time and would suit multi-generational living, working from home, or could be reconfigured to create a more open kitchen and living environment.

It also offers future flexibility for those seeking the option of ground floor living, with additional double bedroom and nearby wet facility, as it’s used today.

Upstairs, five bedrooms provide well-proportioned accommodation, each enjoying a pleasant outlook, while the overall layout lends itself well to thoughtful reconfiguration should a buyer wish to reshape the space.

The gardens are a defining feature. Private, established and clearly cared for over many years, they wrap around the house with a sense of calm and seclusion.

The rear garden benefits from a south-west facing aspect, enjoying the sun throughout the day and into the evening, making it a natural extension of the living space.

Positioned on School Lane, one of Collingham’s most sought-after and peaceful settings, the house sits just a short walk from the centre of the village.

Independent amenities are close at hand, including Apotheco café, a well-regarded primary school, local shops, restaurants, and essential services such as the village doctor’s surgery and pharmacy.

It is a location that balances community and convenience with ease. While the house has been carefully maintained, it is now ready for a new chapter.

A full programme of modernisation is anticipated, offering a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a home of this scale and setting, shaping it for the years ahead.
