Old Pickle House
Sleeping up to eight guests, this unique mews style house is a super choice for a family break, relaxing weekend or activity holiday, with all the benefits of town living right on the doorstep.
Originally part of the famous Pettigrews Pickle Factory, this characterful townhouse sits on three levels. Recently refurbished throughout, the design flair of the owner is evident, combining chic contemporary finishes along with characterful reminders which keep the history of the building alive.
The property opens into the entrance hall which includes space for dogs and outdoor kit as well as hanging space. Off the entrance hall is a utility room with a washer/dryer and a separate bathroom with shower. On the first floor, a spacious sitting room/dining room creates a warm and welcoming first impression with a super circular dining space for sociable chat, leading into a modern fully equipped kitchen.
A second staircase off the first floor hallway leads to three bright bedrooms; the first has a king size double, the second bedroom has fixed twin beds and the third has a small double bed, which is suitable for one adult or two children. All bedrooms are fitted with vanity units and the house bathroom includes a bath, separate shower and feature stone walls. A cleverly designed pull-down double bed in the sitting room provides additional sleeping accommodation for two people.
