Thought to be built in the late 1600s with a new front added in the 1800s, the property looks unassuming from the outside but the inside is a different story.

The ground floor unit could be used for commercial purposes or as a studio, while spacious bedrooms with exposed wooden beams and a large kitchen and living and dining room areas make up the other three floors.
