Description:

PROPERTY HISTORY

The original building was believed to have been constructed in the early 17th Century but was later destroyed in a fire in the late 18th Century. The south facing stone wall is a surviving feature of the original building, as is the wall between the living room and the snug. The property retains many original character features, including stone mullion windows which were painstakingly restored during the renovation. The current owner has lovingly restored the original elements of The Old Crown, whilst sympathetically extending and modernising the property into a substantial and practical home. The layout of the accommodation has been designed with flexible living in mind, and the energy efficiency of the building has been a paramount consideration during the build.
