Linenbank House is a stunning 1830 Georgian link-detached house of great charm and character. Originally built as a bank, the property has only been in residential occupation for the last 7 years. The current owner has partially renovated the property but it still requires a programme of cosmetic upgrade, however the fundamentals, such as the wiring and plumbing have already been done. The accommodation within flows naturally from room to room consisting of a large open plan family kitchen with a playroom and utility room off, a ground floor drawing room with an open fire and sculpted acorn and oak leaf cornicing and a family sitting room / bedroom. A sweeping stair leads to a large first floor landing. There are four stunning bedrooms off the landing all supported by a Jack and Jill family bathroom shared with the master bedroom. An attic stair leads to the 2nd floor where there are two further large attic rooms.
Outside, Linenbank House offers a driveway that leads up the side of the property to a single garage and around to the rear of the house. There are two external outbuildings beside the utility room and a large mature garden that sits up behind Linenbank House.
