The Corner House, 1 High Street
The Corner House is a Grade II listed detached house, built in the 16th Century with interesting local history, believed to have originally been the farriers shop before being converted in the mid 1750’s into 2 houses. Later during/after the war it was 4 dwellings, then thereafter converted into 2 shops (one half being a dress shop, the other a hairdressers and toy shop. The property was converted again in the 70’s back to a house retaining many original beams and shop windows to the front of the property. Today the property offers versatile accommodation over 3 floors and the potential for some sympathetic updating.
On the ground floor there is a spacious sitting room with inglenook fireplace and beamed ceiling. The dining room is partitioned by half beam walls adjoining the sitting room. Opposite the dining room is an inner hall/music room which could easily double up as a home study. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worksurfaces over, Aga, space for fridge/freezer and a larder. The utility room has space/plumbing for a washing machine and further storage cupboards and cloakroom.
On the first floor are 2 double bedrooms, the master bedroom with walk in dressing room and ensuite shower room. The landing is a generous space, ideal as a home study or reading area and there is a separate family bathroom with bath, w/c and wash basin. There are stairs from both bedrooms to the 2nd floor bedrooms which are both doubles with built in cupboards and plenty of eaves storage.
The property offers much scope for improvement and would benefit from some sympathetic updating whilst retaining the character.
