Halesworth, Suffolk

A Grade II listed timber-framed property in central Halesworth, believed to date from the late 16th century, with accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor was formerly a hairdressing salon and includes a partly divided retail area, kitchen and WCs. Above, the residential accommodation comprises a kitchen, bathroom, sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, and two bedrooms. An external staircase serves the upper floors. The property has mains water, drainage and electricity, with electric panel heaters. To the rear are an enclosed courtyard and an established garden with mature shrubs and a high brick wall. Buyers should note that there is no right of way across the neighbouring property, and the garden must be enclosed by a suitable wall or fence within three months of completion. Planning permission for a change of use back to residential was approved in 2017 but has since lapsed. The agent understands that residential use may have been implemented, but purchasers must satisfy themselves on the property's lawful use and any required consents. As a listed building described as a renovation and refurbishment project, it will require careful investigation of its condition and the scope of works. No forward chain. Halesworth offers local shops, services, a railway station and access to the Suffolk Heritage Coast.
