Property description

This unique and charming Grade I Listed natural stone and stone tiled town house is tucked away in this secluded corner of The Chipping, but within close walking distance of all local amenities. The accommodation almost defies description with its huge amount of history and character - a unique residence in a quiet setting within the heart of the town plus the addition of a separate one bedroomed cottage with sitting room, bathroom and kitchen. The accommodation of the main house consists of dining hall with large inglenook fireplace and beamed ceiling. Off this is a small breakfast room with exposed stone walls and steps down into a hand painted kitchen, beyond which is a double bedroom and en suite shower room. Steps lead up from the dining hall to a first floor drawing room which has stairs to a mezzanine gallery/study above and windows to three aspects. This room has two bedrooms leading off it, one of which could easily accommodate an en suite shower room, and we understand that plumbing is already supplied. There is a family shower room and a bespoke staircase leads up to a second floor study/occasional fourth bedroom - a delightful and fascinating area for children.



To the south side of the property there is the separate one bedroomed cottage in a most attractive courtyard with two ornamental ponds and a variety of specimen trees and climbers. To the rear of the house is another pretty courtyard garden where we understand possessory title is enjoyed, and this is subject to a right of way to be used by the scouts and guides entering and leaving The Malthouse plus one dwelling in Gumstool Hill. A third area of garden is arranged to the front of the property, again with a variety of mature shrubs, and a door accesses an integral tool shed built under the adjacent property.



This historic dwelling is of huge interest to the town and will make a very valuable asset to the fortunate purchaser.
