An iconic home for passers-by, The Old Grocery retains all its original charm, its name plaque illuminated by night beneath a handsome red brick arch, with stained-glass transom.

A warm welcome

Beyond the threshold, inside the Old Grocery the warmth of welcome still lingers from its serving days. Light falls in shafts across wooden flooring, adding a traditional touch, while convenience blends with character in the electric, remote control operated log burner. The original chimney remains in place, offering the option to reintroduce a real fire. Well-proportioned, balanced and bright, the lounge, while cosy and inviting, feels open and naturally bright.
