Description
This historic timber-framed property, believed to date back to the Norman Conquest, is a unique and fascinating blend of old and new. With a mix of retail and residential space, the property boasts impressive period detailing and characterful accommodation arranged over four levels, including a Norman undercroft. The exterior features a handsome façade of ancient timber-framing with plaster infills, mullioned windows, and moulded spandrels, while the interior retains many original features such as timber panelling, rustic doors and flooring, and heritage fireplaces. The property has a rich history, with records showing that it was the site of a meeting between four knights in 1170 to plot the murder of Thomas Becket. The interior spaces are just as impressive, with a reception hall, sitting room, kitchen, dining area, and vaulted drawing room, as well as two bedrooms and a modern shower room on the top floor. The property also has a secluded walled garden with paved terracing, specimen trees, and a sense of privacy and shelter.
