House For Sale £775,000
A rare opportunity to acquire and modernise a property steeped in local history. Currently has commercial use.
THE PROPERTY.
37 High Street is a substantial and attractive property standing at the top end of the High Street of this highly sought-after coastal town, just a stone’s throw from the beach. The site, which has been home to a commercial property for many years, was formerly the Hill Farm Dairy with residential accommodation above, from which residents purchased their milk and dairy products. Sadly, the front of this building suffered bomb damage by the Luftwaffe in 1942 and was rebuilt by William C Reade of Aldeburgh after the war. When the dairy ceased trading in 1965, it became a private house and since the mid-1990s it has been used as a solicitors’ office for the local legal firm of Keane & Co.,which some years ago merged with Marshall Hatchick.
The property, although used as a commercial space, is still largely configured as a family house and offers the scope to reconfigure and remodel, subject to planning. The accommodation could be arranged as three reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room. The main house has three first floor reception rooms which could become bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rear annexe offers the possibility for one bedroom with en-suite or possibly two further bedrooms. At present, you enter the property through a front door from the High Street and into a generous entrance hall with a bow window and adjacent reception room to the side. To the rear of the house is a further reception room, off this is a kitchen with door to garden. From the reception room is a passage into the rear annexe, which at the moment is configured into a hall, two small offices and a strong room. Subject to planning this could be opened up into a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room and stairs leading to two further rooms above, offering potential for a study/office or further bedrooms.
Outside, there is parking for some five cars to the front and to the side. To the rear is a large garage, although it is suspected that, as a family house, someone may wish to remove or reduce the size of the garage, to increase the size of the garden.
Agent’s Note: It should be noted that, at present, the planning is for commercial use only
The property comes under Class E Commercial Business and Service Use.
