Old Market House sits centrally in the village of Broughton near Stockbridge and has played an important role in the community since its origins in the 16th century.

Improvements have been made in recent years retaining and enhancing the wonderful period features including a superb array of fireplaces, exposed beams, good ceiling heights and a four oven Aga in the kitchen.
Two principal reception rooms are both spacious rooms and the kitchen leads through to a breakfast area. There is also a study, cloakroom and utility with a door to the garden.

The first floor landing is such a good size that it is currently arranged as a sitting room and from here doors open to four bedrooms and the superb family bathroom. The master bedroom has its own hallway with doors to the bedroom and shower room and there is also a walk-in closet.
The property fronts onto the main road in the village with the main garden lying to the rear with a brick paved area with planted borders and steps to a level lawn with an interesting range of shrubs, trees, bamboo and fruit trees.
