Summary
Tudor Cottage is a stunning 17th century Grade II listed town house. The property is situated in the centre of the Market Place within the heart of the town. This interesting building retains many of the original period features you would expect of a property of this age with flagstone floors, exposed stone walls and ceiling beams. There are internal boarded panelled walls, impressive Hamstone fireplaces and stone mullion windows with leaded glass and window seats.
