Described as "enchanting" with its "own slice of history", PSP Homes said that the seven-bed home "offers the perfect blend of retained character and modern high spec finishes".

As well as the amount of accommodation it has to offer, the property has a range of other notable features including the reception hall, "original library" and a games room.

There is also a 27ft drawing room with stained glass bay windows that overlook the rose garden, as well as a central staircase which estate agents say gives the property a "real sense of grandeur".

The 28ft kitchen is also described as "a superb space for entertaining", with a large central island and a "rustic feel" thanks to the exposed brickwork and beams, along with the stable door that leads to the garden.

A formal dining room, which has an open fire place, is also described as being one of the central parts of the home.

As well as plenty of indoor space, the property also has a number of outside areas for future homeowners to enjoy, including a balcony, paved terrace areas, a "formal rose garden" and a water feature.

The property, believed to be the oldest in the town, is currently on the market for £1.75m.
