The Fleur de Lys is an impressive building built from local stone and occupies a superb position on the ‘hill top’ just a few minutes’ level walk from the town centre. The property has had many previous uses including a girls’ boarding house for the Old School, and for the last 22 years as an AA Rosette award-winning hotel and restaurant. Full planning permission (including listed building consent) has recently been approved for new owners to enjoy an exciting opportunity to change the use to a single, 5300 sq. ft dwelling if they desire. The building has been meticulously maintained and updated by the current owners. The ground floor accommodation comprises a commercial style kitchen with utility, pantry and store, a large dining room, bar and lounge area, two cloakrooms and an en-suite bedroom. On the first floor are seven en-suite bedrooms, and two attic rooms and a bathroom are located on the second floor. A large cellar is divided into two more rooms ideal for storage. To the rear of the property is the attached ‘Old Pool House’ ( under a separate title ), a modern built, contemporary self-contained annex. The dwelling comprises a large kitchen/dining/living room, two double bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and ‘jack and jill’ en-suite, utility room and additional store/reception room. The annex also enjoys a private entrance and decking area and ’eco’ credentials from an air source heat pump and thermal store.
The property benefits from private parking for several vehicles a courtyard garden for the pleasure of the stone dwelling, whilst the annex enjoys it own outdoor space. The main building is currently operating as a highly regarded restaurant with guest rooms and has been granted planning permission to convert into a residential dwelling. Drawings and plans to divide the main dwelling into two ‘townhouses’, each with parking, are underway.
