Property description

Dating most likely from early 1800, this STUNNING GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT is unique. With PERFECT PROPORTIONS and brimming with ORIGINAL FEATURES THROUGHOUT, its rooms ooze elegance and charm. Once the ground floor of a detached residence, records on its past date back to 1836, when it was integral to the house, then named Upper Hill House. It was owned by the Grimwood family, owners of Weeley steam mill, until1902, when the surrounding land was then sold off.The current owner has lived in the property for over thirty-four years, and has loved her time there: “This has been a wonderful home to me and I cannot think of anywhere else that is so unique in its offering. The rooms are so elegant, and I love the HIGH CEILINGS, and other original features.” And its charm is not restricted to the interior, as the owner adds, “And the garden is so lovely. There are so many places to sit and enjoy the colour in the borders, and every seasons brings new interest and with it, new pleasures.” And with PARKING, GARAGE, BASEMENT and NO MORE THAN A WALK INTO TOWN, this is a fabulous opportunity not to be missed.
