About
The Colleys has an attractive aesthetic appearance and is constructed of brick with rendered elevations under a tiled roof.
Built in the early 19th century and probably one of the first properties on the lane, The Colleys comes to the market for the first time in 40 years.
Whilst it can be moved into and enjoyed straight away, the opportunity to improve and adapt is obvious and there is scope, subject to planning permission, to extend.
Internally the property is particularly well light, full of character and charm. Externally, the principle South facing gardens overlook open countryside.
This is a fantastic and rare opportunity, for sale with no chain.
