Shermans House occupies a prominent position in the heart of the popular market town of Wotton-under-Edge, a stone's throw from the high street's many amenities yet surprisingly private and secluded. This Grade II listed property has been a treasured family home for the current owners for 24 years but it is now time for new custodians, who will be only the third since 1975.

Built in 1800, a former Co-Operative store with adjoining bakery and later the Sherman's Arms, the property offers a great deal of history and character, not least the original Smoke Room and Bar pub windows, refurbished parquet floor, wooden panelling, sash windows, and original tiled floor in the hallway and flagstones in the cellar rooms. This is a rare opportunity to secure a property of this character, location and stature.

The extensive accommodation arranged across four floors comprises of a living room with beautifully restored parquet flooring and a log-burning stove on the ground floor, alongside a large boot room and an equally generous laundry room with flagstone flooring throughout, which provides access to the inner courtyard and the garage/workshop. Stairs ascend to the first floor which offers the stunning drawing rooms complete with wooden panelling and the trademark original Bar and Smoke Room windows. The adjacent kitchen/diner is a wonderful family space with room for a sofa as well as a large dining table, which enjoys a good degree of sunshine throughout the day. The kitchen itself comprises of a range of wall mounted and base units with space for a range cooker, a ceiling mounted extractor hood over and metro tiling. This floor is also home to a useful study and a cloakroom/WC.

Stairs ascend to the second floor where you will find four generous double bedrooms (most with double aspect sash windows) and a stylish family bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The master bedroom occupies the third floor which has a vaulted ceiling with an exposed A-frame, an ensuite shower room and glorious views of St Mary's church. There is also access from here to two further full-height unconverted attic rooms which offer endless potential.

Adjoining the house is an exceptionally large garage which was formerly the bakery to the town; double height and 48 foot in length with mezzanine flooring, offering tremendous potential (subject to obtaining the necessary consents and approval), as either an independent dwelling or annex. It is currently used as a gym, parking and storage.
