Draper Street, Southborough

A unique Grade II listed 17th-century property, believed to date back to the 1600s, situated on Southborough High Street in a highly convenient location for local shops, schools and everyday amenities. Accessed from a quiet rear street, the property benefits from off-street parking for three vehicles and a private courtyard garden — a rare advantage for such a central position. The property is entered via the kitchen, which features large sash windows and low-level cabinetry, offering a bright space with scope for reconfiguration if desired. From here, a hallway leads to a useful utility area, downstairs cloakroom and a well-proportioned sitting room with sash windows, an open fireplace and a door opening onto the courtyard garden. A wooden staircase rises to the first floor, where there are three generous double bedrooms, all with space for freestanding furniture and retaining period features including fireplaces and exposed oak beams. The family bathroom is spacious and includes a corner bath and a large walk-in cupboard providing excellent storage. Stairs lead to the second floor where the master suite comprises a bedroom, shower room and an additional room currently arranged as a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, creating a flexible and private top-floor space. The property retains a wealth of original character and architectural detail and would benefit from updating and modernisation. It presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to enhance and personalise a historic home, combining period charm with modern living, in a central and well-connected location.
