The Property
Situated in the medieval grid in one of the towns most prestigious streets, in a quiet location, 44 College Street is a superb 16th-century hall house, built of timber-framed construction with rendered and jettied elevations.
Originally two separate properties and, in later times, The Old Angel public house until 1972, the property offers incredible accommodation extending to approximately 4,500ft2 (including the cellar), providing versatile and adaptable living space with many original elements, creating an elegant home of comfortable proportions.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall opening to the kitchen and dining room, with an attractive staircase leading to the first floor. Leading down from the dining room is a superb 27ft living room with gas fire, generous ceiling height and wooden floors. The other side of the covered passageway gives access to the study, utility room, gardeners WC and a superb 28ft family room with doors leading to the courtyard and the gardens.
Accessed from the entrance hall is also one of the largest cellars in the town, incorporating a wine cellar, workshop and 40ft general basement area with barrelled ceiling and the former barrel chute from the pub.
The first-floor accommodation is accessed via a staircase from the entrance hall, as well as a secondary staircase from the study, leading to the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, guest bedroom two with wardrobe and en-suite shower room, and two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom served by the principal bathroom.
Leading up from the secondary staircase is access to the second-floor attic room with dormer window to the front aspect.
The property has been well maintained, with work including replacement of the roof, the greenhouses, adding insulation and rebuilding garden walls. Set in close proximity to the town centre, 44 College Street is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and cultural attractions; also close by is Guildhall Feoffment Community Primary School.
Gardens and Grounds
A key attraction of the house, which is utterly unique, are the hidden gardens, which have been beautifully designed and maintained, incorporating a number of different rooms within.
The main parking area is accessed through the drive/ passageway, which leads onto a detached double cart lodge (with loft space above), neighbouring a walled lawned garden, whilst further to the west is a superb large walled garden abundant in mature trees, shrubbery and flower beds, lawned garden, kitchen garden and a large Victorian-style double greenhouse.
