A handsome detached Grade II listed Georgian home requiring updating and refurbishment, prominently situated in the heart of Long Melford.

Dating back to the 18th Century when built as the residence for the minister of the adjacent United Reform Church, this is the first time that The Manse will have changed ownership since being constructed. Of traditional timber frame with rendered elevations under a hipped and tiled roofline, the property retains a number of original period characteristics including open fireplaces, sash windows, panelled doors and ‘bow-backed’ display cabinet.

Unusually The Manse has two principal facades, one fronting the street and the second for the benefit of the congregation attending the church. Internally, the house offers generously proportioned accommodation including three reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, cloakroom, cellar, three bedrooms and first floor bathroom. Accessed via two staircases, the upstairs offers 3 very well sized double bedrooms with a family bathroom. There is obvious scope to house ensuite on this floor too.

Indicative of properties that have not changed hands for many years, today The Manse is undoubtedly ‘somewhat dated’ and would benefit from considerable refurbishment to achieve its true potential as an elegant family home. To the rear of the house, the large west facing garden is partially enclosed by an attractive ‘crinkle-crankle’ wall and again offers scope for transformation.

The high street location offers a wonderful convenience of being walking distance of all that Long Melford has to offer, whilst maintaining a private and manageable gardens to the rear, which face due west. Consisting mainly of laid to lawn, with a pathway leading to a greenhouse and further gardens.

Long Melford has an excellent range of shops, award winning restaurants, six pubs, three hotels and two Tudor mansions - Kentwell Hall and Melford Hall - both of which are open to the public. The market town of Sudbury (2 miles) provides a rail link to London's Liverpool Street (approx. 80 minutes), alternatively there is a mainline service from Colchester (about 15 miles) with fastest trains taking 50 minutes. The historic market town of Bury St Edmunds lies 11 miles to the north.

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
