Monks lane, Dedham, Colchester

INTRODUCTION Situated to the North of Monks Lane just off Lamb Corner to the South of Dedham Village, this parcel of land of just over 16 acres combines a field of permanent pasture with a second smaller field recently in arable production to create a sizable block with great potential. The Fields meet in a gentle valley providing interesting topography. Gated access from Monks Lane byway and access at the bottom of the valley to the second of the two fields. We highly recommend an inspection of the land to appreciate its quality and sense of place within the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
