The Property
St James House is a handsome Grade II listed town house providing extensive accommodation which is arranged over three floors. It is believed to date from the mid to late 18th Century and was previously split as both 2 or 3 houses, before being altered to provide one large family home. This could be changed again if so desired, subject to all necessary permissions & consents required. It is currently in a poor condition and will require substantial works to make good, however it could be transformed into a wonderful family home of great character and charm. Opportunities like this are hard to find in such a central location.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property there is a gravelled road providing on street parking which adjoins The Green. There is access through double gates and an archway which leads to the walled garden at the rear. This area enjoys considerable privacy and includes three useful stores which again could be used for something else, subject to any necessary permissions.
