Since that time the property has been an 18th Century Coaching Inn, 19th Century Alms Houses and 20th Century Butchers. In more recent years, the property has been carefully restored into a wonderful four-bedroom family home.

The Kitchen is complimented by a Utility Room with separate Cloakroom. Beyond the Kitchen is the Family Room with a recently fitted English oak wooden floor. The Main Hall features a quarry tile floor and traditional Edwardian staircase providing access to the second floor. The Cellar, front door and Sitting room are also accessed from the Hall. The Sitting Room benefits from an extensive feature fireplace with a Clearview wood burner. English oak flooring continues throughout the room which leads into the Sun Room which was built in 2020 and benefits from a sky lantern and aluminium bi fold doors leading onto the Indian Limestone patio.
On the second floor, there are four well sized bedrooms benefiting from original exposed timbers. The flooring is carpeted, although the original wide oak floorboards are present underneath. The bathroom is fully tiled and includes a double shower, bath, WC, sink and underfloor heating.
As well as the Sun Room which was constructed in 2020, recent improvements include replacement windows and a damp proof course on the internal and external brick walls. In addition, solar panels were fitted in 2012 and are currently utilised to run the emersion heater for the hot water which currently generates a saving of £1500 per annum.

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.
Some advantages of a broker are:
- They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
- They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
- Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
- They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
- They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
- They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
- You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
- You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
- Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
- They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
- Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
