Description
The property was last used as a chiropractic clinic and comprises a substantial late Victorian/early Edwardian villa dating from the first decade of the twentieth century and which is constructed of Suffolk white brick under a slate roof. Although originally detached, the property was extended in the early 1980's both at the rear and at the side to provide a link to the adjoining property at 12 Kings Hill which also formed part of the renowned Scofield Chiropractic Clinic at that time.
The building has been maintained to a good standard, all of the windows were replaced in 2021 with handmade double-glazed sashes and casements and the gas fired boiler was also replaced.
Part of the extension works undertaken in the early 1980's included a three-storey section at the rear to provide a wide easy rising ambulant staircase serving all three floors although there is already independent externally access to both the ground and lower ground floors.
Although plainly suited to some form of continued commercial use in the way of offices or clinic, the property has a clear potential for residential conversion to form a fine period house with ample parking and a large garden, or for sub-division into two or more units. The rooms are well proportioned with good natural light and those at the front enjoy views over the Stour Valley. The building retains many original features with notable fireplaces in the two large rooms on the ground floor.
Location
The building stands in an elevated position in Kings Hill enjoying views over the Stour Valley and Water Meadows. Kings Hill is a continuation of Bures Road, and the property is within a few minutes' walk of Sainsbury's and about one mile from Sudbury Town Centre, with its wide range of shops, railway and bus stations.
Sudbury itself is a busy and expanding market town with a population of just under 25,000 (including Great Cornard) but serves a much wider catchment area. Sudbury is situated some 14 miles south of Bury St Edmunds, 13 miles northwest of Colchester and approximately 23 miles from the county town of Ipswich. Stansted Airport and the M11 are approximately 40 minutes' drive with the M25 Cambridge together with the east coast ports of Felixstowe and Harwich being within 1 hours travel time. The branch line train services from Sudbury have journey times to London Liverpool Street taking around one hour.
