The property has been sensitively modified and renovated over the years, and now offers over 3000 sq ft of stunning accommodation set over 3 floors, complete with a shop front (currently trading as Mongers) which could either remain as a shop or be encompassed into the main house. The property is located in the heart of the thriving market town of Hingham and benefits from off-road parking to the side of the property and a rear garden. __________ GROUND FLOOR The ground floor is currently occupied by Mongers (our client's business) but they will be relocating upon the sale. The space is currently used a shop/show room with street access through the front or side doors, with a small, partitioned office to the rear. Depending on one's needs and requirements, this could either continue being used commercially, or be incorporated into the main house to offer further accommodation. Over the years, our client has used the larger shop section as a dining room (as can be seen in one of the images) at Christmas time! Alternatively, the residential part of the building can be accessed directly through the rear breakfast room without the need to go through the shop section. Behind the shop (currently) is the central ground floor hallway, which leads to the kitchen and breakfast room beyond. A utility room and WC complete the ground floor accommodation. The staircase leads up from the ground floor hallway to the first-floor landing. __________ FIRST FLOOR The first floor comprises four main rooms - three of which are currently dressed as bedrooms (with bedroom 1 having a large dressing area and en suite, and bedroom 2 and en suite). Bedroom 3 is served be the central family bathroom. The largest room is currently dressed a sitting room, with 1 staircase leading up to the second floor and a 2nd secret staircase also leading up. __________ SECOND FLOOR The main staircase leads up from the sitting room to a landing with bedroom 4 whilst bedroom 5/study is accessed from a secret staircase up from the sitting room below. Accessed by a ladder there is also a fabulous mezzanine level library area. __________ OUTSIDE The building fronts the pavement on the street, with a driveway to the side, offering room for ample off-road parking. The garden is currently set out in sections, with the paved area currently used as external storage/show space for architectural salvage. There are landscaped hedged sections behind this, and a lovely terrace off the breakfast room. The garden patio/terrace could be landscaped further to create a single area, rather than the currently divided sections. Alternatively, this could be a parking area to suit. __________ AGENTS NOTE Our client is retaining some of the land to the east and south of the property where they are building a new property for them to live in (work is currently under way). This building is not finished yet and the boundaries and relevant land registry changes are in hand but not completed at the time of writing. __________ SITUATION Hingham is a delightful market town renowned for its wealth of architecture.
