A truly unique Grade II listed characterful property that provides multi functional usage, combining residential with retail opportunities or scope to change to full residential - subject to the necessary permissions. There is certainly more to this splendid home than the eye beholds at the front of the building. Stretching far back, this intriguing home offers in excess of 3500 sq. Ft. (325sq. M) of space including a useful range of outbuildings and a surprisingly large walled garden. It is thought that the original part of the property dates to the 15th century and along with its neighbours formed part of a hall house that followed the medieval street line of the town. For the last fifteen years it has been the very much loved and enjoyed family home to our sellers, whom have maintained and improved the property to create a comfortable and modern home. It retains a whole host of character features, which include sash windows, two fabulous bow windows, exposed floor boards and ceiling beams plus some wood panelled walls as well as different styles of fireplaces and high ceilings in many of the rooms. Outside, there are original flagstone steps and path, old stone walls and historic outbuildings that lend themselves to a variety of purposes. The property provides plenty of options on how one may use the space - on the first floor there are a range of rooms that can form a suite for a dependent relative, teenagers den or young family member seeking some independence. Whilst on the ground floor there is the choice to continue with living and working space or to incorporate the retail area into the main house. A viewing is imperative to truly realise the potential of this home and all the possibilities available. Properties of this style and in this location are few and far between, in light of this, an early viewing is strongly advised to avoid missing out on the opportunity to be the next owner.
