However, some works to extend and refurbish the property have been partly completed.

Its ground floor contains three reception rooms and a kitchen. Up the stairs are two bedrooms on its first floor and a further bedroom is on the second floor.

The property is on the famous Gold Hill, also known as ‘Hovis Hill’ after director Ridley Scott filmed the 'Boy on Bike' television advert for Hovis bread.

The view looking down from the top of the street has also been described as "one of the most romantic sights in England."
