Information From The Sellers. This Spectacular converted public house was tastefully re-arranged into three luxury apartments in 2001.
The property was originally built in 1907 to replace the old pub on the same site and has been a local attraction over the years.
The Bavarian Gothic style listed building has featured on local toffee and fudge boxes.
There is a service charge agreed by the three flat owners who have an equal share of the freehold and is paid monthly into a joint bank account.
This pays for the building insurance, up keep of the shared gardens and funds the repairs and maintenance of the building fabric externally.
External repair and redecoration was carried out at the end of 2024 for the whole exterior and roof.
