Description

Exceptional property located in the heart of historic Dedham. Believed to date back to the 16th century, this two-storey, Grade II* listed property benefits from a wealth of character and original features. Along with the main residence, the property also benefits from an attached two-bedroom cottage, a two-storey gallery, a development opportunity and parking to the rear.

This remarkable Grade II* listed property dates back to the 16th century and offers a rare opportunity to transform a significant historic building back into a unique private residence. Recently granted change of use consent, the main structure—in recent years used as shop premises—is now ready for conversion into a characterful dwelling. With exposed timber beams, brick fireplaces, and a wealth of original features throughout, the space exudes historic charm while offering ample scope for thoughtful restoration and redevelopment.
The rooms within the main building are spacious and varied in character, with several interconnected areas showcasing architectural details such as timber-framed walls, vaulted ceilings, and original staircases. Natural light filters through the sash and casement windows, many of which offer views over the surrounding historic Dedham street scene. A number of rooms feature generous open hearths with brick surrounds, hinting at the property's long history.
To the rear, a detached Gallery building presents additional flexible space with high ceilings, exposed brickwork, and timber-framed windows overlooking the garden. This area is well-suited for use as a studio, workshop, or entertaining space, and is accessed from the main property via a private garden path.
While the main building requires comprehensive internal development, the attached two-bedroom cottage offers immediate accommodation and may serve as a comfortable base during renovation works. This division of space allows for phased development or multi-generational living if desired.
To the rear of the property there is a significant opportunity whereby, under planning ref Col/97/0705, permission was granted for building to be errected to relocate a coffee shop which was once part of the Shakespeare House art/retail complex. This building is out of the ground and subject to further development.
A property of this calibre, in such a central and historic setting, rarely becomes available. For buyers with vision, it presents an extraordinary chance to breathe new life into a landmark period building and craft a one-of-a-kind home in the heart of this thriving heritage location.
