Sitting at the heart of Clare, this handsome Grade II listed building dates back to the 15th century and has, in more recent years, been thoughtfully converted into a collection of one and two bedroom apartments.

This particular apartment combines plenty of period character with the ease of modern living.

Sitting at the heart of Clare, this handsome Grade II listed building dates back to the 15th century and has, in more recent years, been thoughtfully converted into a collection of one and two bedroom apartments.

This particular apartment combines plenty of period character with the ease of modern living.

A generous entrance hall provides useful space for coats and shoes before leading into a bright and surprisingly spacious sitting room.

High ceilings, a Velux-style window and traditional sash window give the room a lovely sense of light and volume, while the loft access adds a useful practical touch.

The kitchen is smart and contemporary, with soft grey cabinetry, stone-effect worktops and a good range of integrated appliances.

It sits neatly alongside the sitting room, making the space feel sociable and easy to live in.

There are two bedrooms, the principal bedroom comfortably accommodating a double bed and enjoying views through a generous sash window.

The second bedroom is particularly characterful, with dual aspect windows bringing in plenty of natural light and an exposed corner post adding a reminder of the building's historic past.

The bathroom is simply and neatly finished, with a p-shaped bath, rainfall shower, vanity unit and WC.

Outside, there is a private balcony overlooking the communal courtyard a lovely little spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink.

The apartment also benefits from two allocated tandemparking spaces, a valuable addition given its wonderfully central position.

A piece of Clare's history, with the character of an old building and the convenience of a well-designed modern apartment.
