The property

Believed to date from the middle 1800s the building was converted from a School into seven individual properties in the early 1990s retaining much original character. The best way to get a feel for a property is to have a wander over. So we will start on Herd Street.

The accommodation

An attractive entrance porch with original flagstone floor, built in storage/cloaks cupboards, small leaded window to the side and door left into the Hall. The Hall originally formed part of the Sitting room, however the Sitting room has been raised to fully enjoy the large original windows, thereby forming an L shaped Hall with original parquet wood floor, staircase rising to the first floor landing, steps up the Sitting room and open plan into the Dining room.

Lastly a storage cupboard under the staircase. Ok so that is downstairs, let's go up. Walking up onto the Landing, the staircase splits left and right.
