Property description
Dating from the early 1600's and originally one of the town's pubs, 7 Halfleet is a charming period property built of local stone with a Collyweston slate roof. The house retains much of its historic character with original features such as stripped wood panelling, oak beams, exposed stone walls, bay windows and a handsome inglenook fireplace, now enhanced by a wood-burning stove. A recent extension at the rear of the house has added further accommodation including a sunny Kitchen with doors to the terrace and an impressive Master Bedroom Suite. Featuring a number of living spaces and two staircases, the house offers extensive and flexible accommodation that can be adapted to suit various lifestyles, whilst outside the Garage/Gym has the potential to develop into a self-contained office or games room. With the further benefit of a marvellous, enclosed private garden with lawns and terrace, 7 Halfleet is a unique period property with splendid potential in an excellent location.
