Take a look inside this four-bedroom converted brewery in Christchurch.

This Grade II listed characterful cottage was previously an old brewery - it even has the old mechanical lift which still works.

The property is currently on the market for £699,995.

According to Christchurch History Society, this malthouse was used as a warehouse by Mitchells Brewery which was listed here in 1770.

Since then the property has clearly undergone considerable renovation to turn it into a chic and contemporary home.

In keeping with the age of the property the current owners have kept plenty of characterful features including exposed wooden beams throughout which add to the cottage's charm. 

Located on Millhams Street in the heart of Christchurch town centre this stand-out property really packs a punch. 

With four bedrooms and plenty of flexible living space this characterful property would meet a variety of needs for those looking to live or invest in the heart of Christchurch.

Inside the property has been completely renovated and is ready for the new owners to really make their mark on the property.
