An outstanding 14th century town house, offering beautifully arranged and much improved accommodation displaying a wealth of wonderful features whilst enjoying a splendid town centre setting. Understood to have origins dating back to the 14th century and listed Grade II as being of specific architectural and historical significance, this magnificent and very historic town house originally formed the principle wing of a much larger hall house, yet still retains and displays a wealth of stunning architectural and original features one would associate with such an important home. These include many fine exposed timbers and studwork, mullion windows, 14th and 15th century ceilings, magnificent Inglenook fireplace boasting a massive Bressummer beam and stone Jambs, arched service doorways, original pargetting and stone and timber flooring. In more recent years, this stunning home has been meticulously restored to a particularly high standard, fusing medieval charm and modern conveniences and the agents would thoroughly recommend an internal inspection in order to fully appreciate the overall personality and features on offer. The beautifully arranged accommodation extends to approximately 2800 sqft and currently in brief comprises; six panel entrance door with fanlight above opening to an entrance hall with stairs off to first floor, pamment tiled floor, original service archway and door to a boot room and adjoining cloakroom.
