About this property

  • St Nicholas Close, built mostly in the 18th century, with some evidence of an earlier 17th century dwelling is built of brick and local stone, under a thatched roof.

The property has been the subject of significant renovation and offers a comfortable and versatile home with accommodation over two floors. Finishes include exposed ceiling timbers, feature dressed stonework, oak floors and two inglenook fireplaces and wood burner. The property offers good rooms throughout,with limestone floors and underfloor heating.
