Description
The Dwelling - A 3 storey Grade II listed terraced property dating back to the Georgian era, with attractive façade, built in stone. Internally, the guest accommodation has been carefully curated with timeless and stylish interiors. This elegant property has since been extended to the rear with further extensive accommodation, lending itself to a large family town centre home (subject to planning permission for change of use) or continuing the successful 6-8 bedroom B&B business with the simple potential to increase the number of letting bedrooms even further.
Accommodation - Boutique accommodation includes 2 elegant reception rooms (family room and sitting room) with high ceilings, period features and large windows. There are interconnecting double doors between these principle rooms. French doors from the family room, open up to an Orangery with vaulted ceiling and stone tiled floor, making a fantastic light and airy space with doors to the rear garden. There is a large dining room with polished wood flooring at the rear and is conveniently situated by the Orangery and large kitchen. Just past the kitchen is a utility room, a handy WC and a door to the courtyard garden.
On the first floor there are 3 stylish ensuite spacious double bedrooms in the main house, and in the extension wing, are two further ensuite bedrooms with a separate lounge, WC and a storage room. This area has the potential to make a further ensuite bedroom STPP. A rear exit provides rear access to steps down to the rear courtyard garden.
On the top floor are 3 further stunning double ensuite letting rooms.
Outside - To the rear of the property there is an enclosed spacious courtyard garden with patio seating areas together with a fig tree and foliage, creating a wonderful Mediterranean feel.
