Dating from 1810, this Georgian house extends to 325sq m. Built as a glebe house, it lies on half an acre of gardens on Anne Street in the centre of the town. On the western boundary, walls date from early Anglo-Norman times and have views of an adjacent castle. Though in need of some modernisation, the property retains many of its period features and has a footbridge from the drawing-room to the gardens.

Plus: Georgian splendour in the town centre

Minus: Refurbishment costs are high
