Located just to the north of the village centre, 56C High Street forms part of a small row of terrace cottages which were built in 1909 by famed Lavenham mill owners, W M Roper & Sons. The cottage’s red brick façade retains its original sash windows, with also well-preserved stone lintels. As the property is not listed, modern uPVC double glazed exterior door and windows are to its rear. Internally, the ground floor has favourably high ceilings, where the entrance hall leads through into the sitting room, with a central redbrick fireplace housing a wood burner. Beyond it the dining room, with understairs cupboard and views over part of the rear garden. A single storey addition forms the galleried kitchen, fitted with a combination of pine and oak worksurfaces, numerous storage cupboards, and plumbing / space for a washing machine. The remaining ground floor is the cloakroom and rear lobby, with access to the garden.  The first floor provides two double bedrooms to both the front and rear aspects, with a bathroom adjacent to bedroom two. In 2014, the roof void was converted which is currently been used as a further double bedroom, with two rooflights overlooking the entire garden and the southern part of Lavenham beyond.  Outside, the property offers an enclosed rear garden which is essentially divided into two parts by a detached outhouse. An area of hardstanding leads up to the main part, which extends well beyond the outbuilding with patio and further areas of hardstanding. The boundaries are clearly defined by timber fencing. To the front (the High Street) unrestricted parking is readily available. Agents Note
As common with properties of its ilk, a pedestrian right of way exists over the rear garden for neighbouring properties. This is mainly used for refuse purposes. Location
Located some 300 metres from the village centre, Lavenham is regarded as one of the finest medieval settlements in Britain, with its wealth of period houses, famous church and of course the National Trust's Guildhall in the Market Place. Notwithstanding its fame, Lavenham is a thriving community with a good selection of shops and services. The market town of Sudbury is about 7 miles south and it provides a commuter rail link to London's Liverpool Street. The cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds is about 12 miles north. Services
