Dating back to the late 16th century and once the esteemed abode of a village merchant, this magnificent residence exudes charm, character, and an intriguing history that sets it apart from any other property in the area. Believed to be the second oldest building in Higham Ferrers, the property boasts an array of original features that reflect its rich heritage. As you approach the property, you are greeted by a striking Tudor oak latch door, complete with its original key still in situ. Stepping inside, the entrance hall showcases beautiful quarry tiled flooring, leading through to the living spaces with exposed timber ceiling beams and flooring, stone mullion bay windows, and inglenook fireplaces that evoke a sense of grandeur and sophistication. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of such historical significance, offering versatile accommodation that can cater to a variety of lifestyles. With five reception areas and five generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, this property was previously operated as a successful bed and breakfast, making it ideal for those seeking a family home with the potential to run a thriving hospitality business.
