This “imposing” High Street town house for sale is nearly 300 years old and spans four storeys - for less than £500,000. 

Monument House, in Wellington, was built in 1740 and is of traditional Georgian style, with period features remaining throughout. 

The house sits on the High Street and was built more than 80 years before the Wellington Monument for which it is now named, but it is unknown what its previous name was.
