It isn't every day that preserved character homes from early last century come along, and this one is a gem. There are six bedrooms in total plus three bathrooms. The current owners have been running it as a B&B, but it could easily become a family home again. The kitchen, dining and living areas have high ceilings and lots of lovely period features - perhaps most notably the highly polished wooden floors, have been retained, despite significant modernisation. There are attractive views from almost every window and sunny spots for relaxing outdoors. Set date of sale March 7.
