4 bedroom detached house for sale

A period and former malt house, probably dating back to the early 18th Century.

The Steps provides a unique opportunity to purchase a superb period property providing a wealth of characteristic features.

Over the centuries the property has had a number of uses. But it was during the 19th Century that it was restored and converted into a residence.

The deceptive living accommodation extends to three floors and the refurbishments show the commitment to retaining its period fea-tures, these include original and polished Oak floors and staircases, antique pine doors and hardwood frame leaded windows.

The vast interior beams still have the carpen-ters' number engraved in them.

It benefits from gas central heating and double-glazed windows.
