Homes in Risley

Risley is a long, thin village, with most homes on either side of the main road. Risley Hall, once a Willoughby family seat, is now a hotel, and All Saints' Church dates from Elizabethan times. Risley was designated a conservation area in 1984. Houses here range in age, and we take each one as we find it. Where a house is set well back, cables to outside lights or a charger can have long runs, which need a thicker cable to avoid voltage drop. In older homes inside the conservation area, keep outside fittings low-key.
