An impressive Grade II listed townhouse arranged over three floors, offering spacious & highly adaptable accommodation

Clement House is an impressive Grade II listed townhouse arranged over three floors, offering spacious and highly adaptable accommodation with further potential to extend or reconfigure (subject to the necessary consents). Occupying a prime position on Burford High Street, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property with both residential and commercial appeal, along with the valuable benefit of private parking. Part of the property has been thoughtfully converted into a self-contained one-bedroom ground floor apartment, currently run as a highly successful holiday let. Finished to a high standard, the apartment features an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, a double bedroom and a Jack and Jill shower room, with its own side access ensuring complete privacy from both the shop and main house. The main house can be accessed via the shop, side entrance or from the rear. On the ground floor, a useful storeroom (currently used as a guest bedroom) offers further potential for updating. The first floor provides a kitchen/breakfast room to the rear, opening onto a decked terrace overlooking the gardens, along with a principal bedroom, family bathroom, separate shower room, study area and both dining and sitting rooms to the front, rich in character with exposed beams, stonework and secondary glazing. The second floor offers additional bedroom space and storage.
A gated entrance via Burgage Gardens leads to parking for several vehicles, positioned at the far end of the garden. The secluded garden itself provides a peaceful retreat, with lawn, mature planting, and terrace areas. Outbuildings include an office/workshop with power and WC, a storeroom, two sheds and a lean-to utility area with plumbing and electricity.
