Description
This charming historical building has recently obtained planning permission to create a two-bedroom self-contained bungalow with large open-plan living, parking and private walled garden as well as separate bed and breakfast accommodation with private lounge and café to the front. In addition is a cellar and workshop with many of the original character features still intact. Although there is no mistaking this is a large project for any given buyer, this is a fantastic opportunity to create a prestigious bed and breakfast in a beautiful historic building as well as a characterful bungalow. This property is being offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
The Property: You are initially greeted by a large quadruple-fronted shop fronted commercial room overlooking Friars Street and in turn down Church Street with lovely period features including a soft red brick fireplace leading onto an inner hall. Six rooms leading off the hall, as well as the staircase, each with their individual quirks and character features. This includes a large double-aspect room with Georgian-style fireplace, exposed floorboards and brick flooring overlooking a private walled garden. This room has been earmarked as the open plan living space for the bungalow accommodation, with the three rooms beyond being bedroom and bathroom accommodation.
There are five large rooms with exposed floorboards and sash window being features in each to the first floor. Two further rooms can be found to the second floor offering wonderful elevated roofscape views over Sudbury. The recently obtained planning permission has been for these to be transformed to five-bedrooms each, enjoying their own en-suite.
Although planning permission has been granted to split the building into a two-bedroom bungalow and a five-bedroom bed & breakfast with a café to the front, this recently obtained planning, offers great scope for buyers to create secondary accommodation or make the property one glorious house with a small commercial element to the front subject to planning.
