Description
The property is located towards the southern end of Little St Marys close to Long Melford Antiques Centre and the Swayne & Partners veterinary practice. Little St Marys itself is an extension of Hall Street, the principal thoroughfare through the village and where there are a wide range of local shops, pubs and restaurants. Long Melford was recently described in an article in The Telegraph as "the perfect English village" noting its two manor houses, multiple pubs and fine church together with a wealth of independent businesses. The village has a resident population of around 4,000 and attracts a large number of tourists throughout the year, especially in the summer months.
Long Melford is about 3 miles north of Sudbury, 12 miles south of Bury St Edmunds and about 16 miles from Colchester. Stansted Airport, the M11 and Cambridge are all within 45 minutes' drive time.
DESCRIPTION
The property comprises a substantial Listed period building, the front section of which probably dates from the 19th century, but the building plainly has much earlier origins and is Listed as being of Architectural or Historic Interest Grade II. The building has operated over the last 25 years as The Rug & Carpet Studio.
The building is constructed of a mixture of brick and timber frame and plaster under pitched plain and peg tiled roofs and has been maintained to a good standard. The layout lends itself to a variety of uses including retail, restaurant or offices. Unusually it has extensive on-site parking, space for around a dozen vehicles.
