Located close to the original Market Hall in the heart of the High Street, Tresco House dates back to the 16th century when it served as The George Inn public house. The property was later extended with a Georgian facade in the 1800's, and the discovery of a vast bread oven within the original building suggests that the property was once used as a communal 'bake house'. The house now requires modernisation but offerswonderful potential and scope to create a spectacular individual family home of over 2,800 sq ft.
The current accommodation is arranged over three floors with two front facing reception rooms within the Georgian building providing high ceilings and feature open fireplaces. An inner hallway leads through to the original building and a superb open plan family/dining room spanning the width of the property. To the rear of the house the former bake oven is now accessed from the kitchen and serves a clever breakfast/dining area.
On the first floor a split level landing gives access to three generously proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and has an additional secondary room, currently used as a utility but with scope to create a formal dressing room. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom. From the first floor landing an additional staircase leads to an attic room currently used as a bedroom/study, with further extensive loft space offering scope for conversion (subject to the usual consents).
There is a paved courtyard to the rear of the house, accessed through a private archway off the High Street. This is presently utilised as a private parking area but could be used as a courtyard garden and external entertaining space with views of St. Mary's church tower.
