The White House

This deceptive five bedroom home which is Grade II Listed and dates back to 1823 was renovated and extended in 2015 creating a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room, an ideal entertaining space with bi-fold doors to the garden. Works to the property include a new roof (including timbers), re-wiring, re-plumbing, a new central heating system to include a modern combination boiler, and replacement of all windows to high quality timber windows. A detached timber cabin sits set back in the pretty wrap around gardens, which has provided additional guest space and a superb home office. For added convenience a detached garage is accessed via a private lane at the rear of the property. The property is situated in a sought-after location, within walking distance of the town which has pretty town squares with coffee shops and bars, High Street shops and Town Quay with popular Quay Arts Centre and riverside pub.
