From the Listing:

Linenbank House is a stunning Georgian link-detached house of great charm and character. Originally built as a bank in 1830, the property has only been in residential occupation for the last 7 years. The current owner has partially renovated the property but it still requires a programme of cosmetic upgrade, however the fundamentals, such as the wiring and plumbing have already been done. The accommodation within flows naturally from room to room consisting of a large open plan family kitchen with a playroom and utility room off, a ground floor drawing room with an open fire and sculpted acorn and oak leaf cornicing and a family sitting room / bedroom.
