Castle Street

The current owners have reconfigured the former shop space into a functioning kitchen space. This area, along with two additional reception rooms at the front of the property and a central hallway, forms a flexible and functional layout ideal for both residential and business or multi-generational living.

At the rear of the property, a spacious 25ft kitchen/breakfast room serves as a central hub for everyday living, while a third reception room, currently used as a bedroom, features sliding doors that open directly to the garden, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. A further reception room with adjacent laundry facilities also provides scope for flexibility.

Upstairs, a winding landing gives access to four bedrooms, including a large principal bedroom with dressing area, an en-suite, and a further family bathroom.

Externally, the property opens from Castle Street via traditional double gates leading through the former carriage access, on top of secondary access from Posting House Court and Buckshorn Lane allows for secure off-road parking behind double gates. The enclosed town garden is a notable highlight - generous in size and offering privacy, it’s well-suited for family enjoyment or quiet relaxation.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant home with a rich narrative, flexible layout, and practical town-centre features such as gated parking, commercial zoning, and scope for further enhancement.
