The property
'Oakley' is a substantial detached stone built property which benefits from a fabulous outlook at the rear to the south taking in The Cheviots in the distance. The interior is of good proportions as you would expect from a property of this nature and provides a flexible layout with bathroom facilities on both floors and the option of a downstairs bedroom if required. There are elements that would now benefit from general upgrading and modernisation but with scope to make a fabulous family home. The garden to the rear is an excellent space and thanks to the southerly aspect they enjoy sun throughout the day not to mention fabulous views down the valley.
