Connoisseurs of the perfect afternoon tea may be left indefinitely hungry after a renowned tearoom in Exeter was put up for sale.
Topsham's Georgian Tea Room, a long-time favourite of many locals and tourists, has been put on the housing market – casting doubt on its future.
The grade II listed building, in the heart of the town, comes complete with 10 bedrooms, a courtyard and a traditional flower garden.
A description by Exeter estate agency Saleboards – that is marketing the property – reads: "Described in 1842 by F.W.L. Ross, the then resident, as 'Decidedly the best in the town', this fine property is a grade II*, three-storey, five-bayed, red brick house built in 1776, in the beautiful and very highly regarded town of Topsham. Currently used as a 10 bedroom guest house, this beautiful piece of Georgian architecture is multi-functional and would suit anyone searching for a fine and spacious property in the Topsham area."
But, if you dream of keeping the tearoom alive by buying it yourself, it'll cost you £940,000. We better start saving.
