The accommodation is truly versatile, boasting eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, with six benefiting from ensuite facilities - perfect for maintaining the property's commercial viability or adapting for extensive family living.
Period enthusiasts will appreciate the wealth of original features throughout, including stunning stained-glass windows that bathes the entrance hall in coloured light and an elegant carved balustrade that speaks to the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
