REDUCED PRICE for this distinguished house in the heart of a small market town, two minutes walk from all local services.

Large rooms, elegant corridors, original floor tiles, wooden floors, double doors and painted wood panelling, four bedrooms, two bathrooms (one ensuite) and two cellars.... just a few of the desirable features. There is also a cottage with living room, shower room, garage, bedroom, own entrance and garden. this can be used/let completely separately or accessed from the first floor of the main house to extend the accommodation. Outside there are terraced gardens with lawns, veg plots and fruit trees, various outbuildings, including a garage with attic and a large barn which is big enough to make a second substantial house. All this in a peaceful secluded setting right in the middle of a thriving small town. As a business proposition (B & B, language, art or cookery school) or as a private residence of great distinction, this is a property well worth viewing.
