Bank House is a Grade II listed Elizabethan town house of rich heritage with origins dating back to the mid to late 16th century. The property was remodelled in the early 20th century by the acclaimed architect John Denman who skilfully created a light and spacious layout whilst retaining the property’s attractive character. Many of the reception rooms have wide stave oak floorboards and beautiful open fireplaces. The spacious rooms have generous ceiling heights for its era and have the added delight of exposed beams and leaded light crittall windows. Modern enhancements have been made to the well decorated interior including electrical re-wiring, re-plumbing and new modern kitchen, along with an upgraded heating system. The sizable, triple aspect sitting room resides on the first floor with a focal inglenook fireplace. A staircase leads to the ground floor where a double bedroom is serviced by an en-suite shower room, there is also the benefit of an entrance vestibule and large oak door to the high street. The kitchen/dining room is a large open plan room with a recently fitted modern kitchen and a range of integrated appliances. A glazed door opens out on to the private, sunny west facing courtyard.
