A former pub in the village of Stanstead has come on the market for a guide price of £750,000.

The house, which is thought to be a medieval cross wing hall house built more than 700 years ago, has plenty of period features throughout.

Selling agent David Burr says the house can be improved on in its current condition as it offers “considerable scope for improvement/alteration”.

The property also has four guest suites, which David Burr says "could be utilised for a B&B business or incorporated within the main house".

All the guest suites feature exposed beams and high ceilings and have shower rooms and views over the garden.

In addition to the guest suites, the ground floor accommodation comprises a dining room, kitchen, sitting room, utility and bathroom.
