Description from owner
Description
Come and visit a house full of history.
A stunning and quirky - meaning a little wonky at places - medieval timber framed home, originally build in 1468 for Sir Wyllyam Taylor, then Sheriff of London (later Lord Mayor of London). It is said the house had the proportions and ceiling heights (12 foot) of a 'fine London house'.
The building also has Jacobean wall paintings which were re-discovered in the 1960s.
For a long time it was used as an inn called 'The Griffin' until it became an antiques furniture sales room. The settings are certainly right for that.
However recently it turned back to be a home with a bit of 'character'!
The house today has on the ground floor a lovely kitchen diner which can seat up to 10 people, a big lounge with space for at least 6-10 people, another smaller lounge for at least 4 people. Both lounges offer TVs with free satellite reception and DVD players.
Also on the ground floor is a utility room with dish washer, washing machine, tumble dryer and an additional sink together with the downstairs toilet shower room.
On the way to the first floor is a door to a little hide-away with two chairs - ideal for the ones amongst you who want to excape the hustle and bustle around you.
On the first floor is a very big master bedroom with a four poster bed, another good size double bedroom , a smaller room with two single beds and a landing with more sitting space.
The attic comprises of 2 smaller bedrooms with two single beds each.
On the first floor is a luxurious bathroom with a free standing bath and a huge walk-in shower, all recently installed.
There is parking for 2 vehicles on site and free parking nearby, plus a small outside seating area with table and chairs.

“The house grew on us as the week went on.”
Well equipped property in town centre giving immediate access to local shops. The down side of this was the noise from traffic in the street, particularly the recycling collection at 4.30 am! Aircraft noise was also a problem for light sleepers. Easy access into London and other attractions to visit nearby including National Trust properties.

“Brilliant, very comfortable, quirky”
Taylour house is wonderfully comfortable, well equipped and very interesting in historic terms. It is the perfect place to relax with family and friends, in a great location and excellent value for money. We loved the communal lounge, large family orientated kitchen and large relaxing bathroom!! Great place to stay.
