The Red Lion Hotel

The property in question is a striking Grade II* Listed building, which has a rich history dating back to the 15th century. Originally serving as a coaching inn, this historic structure boasts 25 hotel rooms, some of which have been repurposed into the current owner's flat. Despite the changes, the property retains its old-world charm with features like a grand ballroom and a medieval cellar. Adjacent to this former inn, known as the Red Lion, is the Market Hall. This notable establishment was inaugurated by Viscount Palmerston in 1860. The close proximity of these two historic landmarks adds to the overall appeal and significance of the area. Despite some rooms being abandoned, the property holds immense potential for restoration and use, making it a unique piece of heritage.
