About this space

A 16th-century townhouse venue defined by richly detailed period interiors and surviving historic architectural features that convey an authentically historic setting.

Design: The interior comprises wood‑panelled rooms beneath a painted coffered ceiling, punctuated by classical chandeliers and tall sash windows that admit steady daylight. The rooms have narrow, formal proportions, original joinery and timber floors that emphasise the building’s age and craftsmanship.

Features: The venue has a fixed PA system and speakers and permits playing of own music or hiring an outside DJ. The venue provides Wi‑Fi and air conditioning throughout. The venue includes step‑free guest access, wheelchair access and accessible toilets, and on‑site event support is available.

Ideal for: Private groups and small corporate teams seeking a formal, sit‑down dinner or a polished seated reception in a historic, characterful setting.

What sets it apart: A small, fully enclosed 16th-century stone courtyard that survives at the heart of the property and can serve as a private outdoor area.
