Great Cornard, Sudbury, Suffolk

SITUATION Mill Tye itself is a location of rare appeal, positioned at the gateway to Sudbury's most picturesque landscapes. Residents can enjoy riverside and valley walks directly from the development, with the tranquil River Stour meandering through open countryside. The neighbouring water meadows, painted by Thomas Gainsborough and celebrated for their natural beauty, are a short stroll away, offering a timeless backdrop for walking, cycling, or simple relaxation.

Sudbury is a thriving market town with a strong community spirit and an impressive range of amenities. Independent boutiques sit alongside high street retailers, while cafes, pubs, and restaurants offer a variety of dining options. Cultural life is equally well represented, with the Quay Theatre, Gainsborough's House, and a regular programme of local events contributing to the town's vibrant character. For commuters, Sudbury offers rail connections via Marks Tey to London Liverpool Street, as well as convenient road links to Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, and Colchester. In short, this location combines the best of countryside living with everyday accessibility. 

DESCRIPTION This beautifully appointed two-bedroom first-floor apartment forms part of an elegant, double-fronted Georgian residence within the exclusive Mill Tye development, a setting that seamlessly blends heritage architecture with modern refinements. The property enjoys an enviable position on the edge of Sudbury, where the historic town meets the tranquil landscapes of the Stour Valley and its celebrated water meadows. With a share of freehold and an annual management charge of approximately £1,700, the apartment offers not only character and charm but also the reassurance of well-managed communal areas and long-term investment security.

Internally, the apartment has been thoughtfully designed to retain a sense of space and elegance. High ceilings of approximately eight feet create a light and airy feel, enhanced by newly installed grain-effect PVC sash windows that echo the property's Georgian origins while providing modern efficiency. A recessed cloaked store offers practical storage, while oak internal doors add warmth and quality throughout. Every detail has been carefully considered, from Torrus white painted skirting boards and architraves to oak Suffolk-style six-panel doors with an oiled finish and polished chrome ironmongery. The walls are painted in Dulux matt Night Jewels 6, perfectly complementing the flooring and doors, with a crisp diamond matt white ceiling. The apartment is also pre-wired for Sky Q.

The contemporary kitchen is fitted with smooth soft close shaker doors and paired with a solid oak worktop. It comes fully equipped with quality Zanussi appliances, including a ceramic hob, fan oven, 70:30 fridge freezer, and a 7kg integrated washing machine. A striking black glass splashback completes the modern look. The hallway, kitchen, and living areas are finished with Karndean flooring.

The accommodation comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms, each designed with comfort in mind. The principal bedroom enjoys a charming front-facing bay window that floods the room with natural light, alongside a fitted wardrobe with mirrored doors. The second bedroom is equally versatile, suitable as a guest room, study, or dressing room. It is served by a luxurious en suite shower room, complete with a contemporary rain head fitting. A further family bathroom mirrors the high specification, fitted with a bath for a touch of everyday indulgence. Tiling includes full-height coverage in shower enclosures, with half-height tiling around baths and sinks for a refined finish.

Residents of Mill Tye benefit from access to immaculately kept communal gardens, thoughtfully landscaped to provide both colour and calm throughout the year. The overall impression is one of understated elegance, where period character is balanced with modern conveniences to create a property that is both practical and highly desirable.
