- HAWTHORN HOUSE, , HIGH STREET, LONG MELFORD, SUDBURY, SUFFOLK, 535000, 23/07/2021
This substantial Grade II Listed detached period house occupies a lovely position on the outskirts of the village and offers exceptionally versatile accommodation throughout. The property retains much of its character with exposed beams, fireplaces, oak flooring, high ceilings and is further complemented by ample off-road parking and a large, private south facing garden. In all about 0.25 acres.
High Street Farmhouse is a substantial detached period property built with rendered elevations under a double gabled hand-cut clay tiled roof. The house probably began its life as an earlier timbered farmhouse and there is a fine triple diagonal shaft chimney stack at the rear. The front gable with big sash windows was most likely added in the 18th/19th Century giving the Georgian appearance.
The house provides extensive and flexible accommodation and the interior retains a wealth of good period features including old doors and fireplaces, further complemented by some attractive floorboards and a traditional oak farmhouse kitchen. At the rear is a modern painted timber conservatory. To the side is a large driveway providing parking for a number of cars. There is a pleasant landscaped garden to the front, shingled courtyard garden to the rear, but the main garden is to the side which is the southern aspect. In all around 0.25 acres.
