House For Sale £575,000
Friars Street, Sudbury, Suffolk, CO10

One of the most prestigious addresses in the town (Thomas Gainsborough’s sister lived in an adjacent property) Friars Street is a stone’s throw from the town centre, and on a summer’s evening the thwack of leather against willow can be heard from the nearby cricket club. Sudbury Common Lands with its famous water meadows and the River Stour are 10 minutes’ walk away.

Estimated to date back to the late 16th Century when No.68 and the adjoining property formed one ‘high status’ timber framed dwelling, this attractive semi-detached townhouse is listed Grade II as being of architectural or historical interest. Divided into two properties in the early 19th Century and following the trend in Georgian architectural styling, the properties were re-fronted with an attractive gault brick façade with sash fenestration and internally remodelled. Today, No. 68 offers plenty of space with a wonderful opportunity for updating and refurbishment, and benefits from a relatively new kitchen and shower.

Outside
No.68 stands pleasantly back from the road, with an attractive walled garden to the rear and has the rare benefit within the historic core of the town of both off-road parking, and a garage.
This house is perfect for someone who loves all that the countryside has to offer but who also likes to live in a town with all of its social life, facilities and communication links.

An internal inspection is unreservedly recommended to appreciate the qualities and potential of the home on offer.

Location
Sudbury has a thriving market town centred around a twice-weekly open market and an excellent range of schooling, shopping, recreational and cultural facilities including the intimate Quay Theatre, all within easy walking distance of the property. The acclaimed National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough opened last year after a £10M refurbishment and is five minutes away on foot.

For commuters, Sudbury offers a rail link via Marks Tey to London’s Liverpool Street station, as well as Stratford International and the Elizabeth Line, for Heathrow.

This property is offered chain free.
