The separate kitchen, fitted with modern appliances including a 4-plate induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine/dryer and fridge & freezer, is a great space to cook a meal.

The second provides a super-king zip & link bed, which is a double by default but can split into two single beds on request. The first of the bathrooms comprises of a bath and separate shower. Apart from the shower, which was added, the bathroom is the original suite which was beautifully restored.
Up the stairs to the second floor is the more modern bathroom, with a free-standing rolltop bath, separate shower and loo and to the end of the corridor are two additional twin bedrooms.
History
The earliest known record of the building is a map dating back to 1758, showing two separate buildings. Later records from 1833 show that "M Forrest" owned the buildings - hence the name Forrest's Yard.
Twenty years later, in 1853, records show both buildings as one, suggesting that building work was carried out the join the two together. Records also show the new owner as Mr George Forrest, who was a surgeon and also the twice-elected Local Town Mayor. Now Grade II Listed, the property has been carefully refurbished to a high standard while retaining many original features.

A lovely flat with space to spread out--important as we were a loosely connected family/friends group.
We really appreciated the comfy sofas.
