Description

This Grade II Listed former public house presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Nestled in one of the town's most charming streets, this property boasts significant historical character, with origins dating back to the 16th century and notable alterations from the 17th through 19th centuries. It features a generous layout including a large basement/cellar, a detached double garage, and a spacious garden, all ripe for modernization or conversion. The interior offers diverse potential: from atmospheric reception areas showcasing exposed timbers and brick fireplaces to a functional kitchen with an Aga cooker, along with usable utility space. The expansive basement provides an excellent canvas for transformation into additional living space or rental accommodation (subject to necessary approvals). Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms await attention, each with original features such as built-in wardrobes and secondary glazing. Outside, the garden is adorned with mature shrubbery while the garage could serve as a workshop or be converted into a creative garden studio. With thoughtful renovations, this property can be transformed into a stunning family home or an appealing investment property.
