2 Bed Detached House For Sale Tilley Lane, Farmborough, Bath, BA2

Gripp Lodge is an attractive single storey building set on Tilley Lane on the edge of the village of Farmborough yet within easy walking distance of the community village shop, Butchers Arms public house and the village primary school. It is being offered for sale after many years in the same family ownership and been a successful letting property in recent years. It was renovated some years back and is ready to move into with modern kitchen and bathroom fittings and a good standard of presentation, it is therefore ready to enjoy as it is but there is evidently much future potential for the building as it has scope for a \"Grand Design\" project for someone to create their own bespoke property in a very pleasant location.
