Gable House is a home of distinction and character, lying in a most desirable location within this beautiful medieval market town. The attractive and well proportioned house boasts an impressive history dated to the early 1400’s and is believed to be one of the oldest surviving buildings in Bishop’s Waltham.
The property retains a lovely ambience with a wealth of exposed beams, together with a medieval arched doorway, moulded truss beam and later 16th/17th floorboards on the landing. To the rear of the house there is a beautiful sheltered walled cottage garden and we would advise early interest and viewing.
