Castle Gate House is a charming Grade II* Listed building with a fascinating history, having been offices for many years and converted to a fine family house eight years ago. Dating as far back as the early 16th Century the original building is at the rear with an early 18th Century front, and the property was then restored in the early 20th Century. There are many fine features, typical of the period, including exposed beams, oak paneling, exposed brick fireplaces and a magnificent main staircase. Arranged over four floors, the 4,789 sq ft of accommodation is flexible and adaptable with beautiful leaded light windows at the rear flooding sunlight through in the afternoons and evenings. Over the last few years, the accommodation has been upgraded and modernised in keeping, particularly with the installation of two lovely bathrooms. A kitchen extension at the rear has also recently been completed providing a stunning area on the lower ground floor with doors out to a westerly facing raised deck and entertaining area
