Bedroom two features a painted panel over the fireplace which is late C17 and is alleged to depict the Fire of London.

The family bathroom at this level features an iconic free-standing, clawfoot bath tub with shower over and attractive wall tiling. On the second floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a charming, tucked-away setting under the rafters with a stylish shower room adjacent.
Ancillary accommodation is provided in the Old Dairy which offers a kitchen/utility area with cloakroom, whilst a home-working office space adjoins the double garage.

Maldon Planning have confirmed that they would look favourably to reinstate the original application. Full details of the planning are available to viewers.
