Property description
Lion House is set on the cobbled town square of the thriving moorland town of Moretonhampstead. The town has a wide variety of day to day and specialist shops, a primary school and pre school, parish church and chapel, library and a sports centre with gym.
Lion house is rumoured locally to have been influenced by the work of the architect Edwin Lutyens who designed nearby Castle Drogo, which was built between 1912 and 1930, Lion House being built in 1926. It used to be a bank and still retains as a feature the strong room door from the inner hall to the kitchen. The property has tall ceilings to the ground floor in the old bank itself and the accommodation comprises a glazed entrance lobby, a large drawing room with a Minster fireplace, an inner hall, a ground floor study or bedroom, a w.c. and a kitchen/dining room with a gas fired Aga. Upstairs there is a bathroom and a double bedroom and access to the roof terrace garden with its decorative balustrade overlooking the cobbled, bustling town square. This extraordinary building would be a fun place to live or make a terrific holiday letting investment.
