A fine sitting room centres around an impressive inglenook fireplace, while the substantial dining hall, study with fireplace and garden room provide a choice of elegant reception spaces including the former Gig house now currently used as a family room and has the opportunity for business use. and the property also benefits from a cellar.

The first floor offers three double bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom featuring a roll-top bath, together with a family bathroom. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms and a shower room, creating excellent flexibility for family living or visiting guests.

Outside, a charming courtyard garden provides a private and low-maintenance setting, while an integral garage offers useful storage and parking. The property benefits from gas-fired central heating and is ideally positioned for enjoying the extensive amenities of this historic market town.
