3 bedroom town house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

LOCATION
Sudbury is an historic market town containing a wealth of period houses and cottages at its centre. It offers an excellent range of amenities with many shops and clubs and associations for rugby, football, cricket, tennis, bowls and rowing. There is a modern swimming pool/leisure complex and small quayside theatre. The town station provides shuttle trains through to the main London and Colchester line and there are bus connections to the surrounding area.

The property is located on Cross Street, just a few yards before Ballingdon Bridge crossing the River Stour. Although a busy setting, the sunny walled courtyard garden at the back is surprisingly quiet and completely private. The interior reveals the house to have a Victorian front but an earlier original, with high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces, old doors etc. Gas fired central heating is provided, backed up by advanced solar panels. There is a useful brick built studio/office outhouse, which houses the heating boiler and so could be used all the year round.
