Property Summary
Property Details
The Weavers, No.1 High Street is a remarkable building which with adjoining neighbours forms an historic line of buildings defining this part of the village. Dating from the 14th Century, the building grew to the north culminating in a jetted cross-wing presenting an ornately decorated gable to the street The flank wall alongside Water Lane features pargetting and is bordered by much coveted off-street parking space. Not surprisingly No,1 and its adjoining neighbour is Listed Grade II with the added * Star indicating it is one of Suffolk's special historic buildings. Internally, as one enters via the principal outer door between two classic shop windows, the timber frame is strikingly apparent having been widely exposed and now illustrating fine straight and close studding and notable ceiling timbers including a Dragon beam. The property is now regarded as fully residential however it takes little imagination to see the commercial potential of the ground floor should new owners have plans for running a business from home subject of course to returning Planning Usage to its former definition. In recent times the property has served as a Gallery and for many years a high class Antique shop. Back in history the building served as the upmarket village Grocers and Drapers.
Currently the fabulously presented interior is fully utilised combining various reception room spaces across two floors linked via three staircases. Bedroom numbers can vary depending on requirements as can the use of reception rooms. The layout really does suit the prospect of living and running a business from home given the extremely comfortable nature of the first floor and its self-contained day and night facilities.

Weavers fronts the High Street with a side area of off road parking and space for sitting out along with developing the garden further either 'in the ground' or in pots. Gates to the front, retaining a car pull-in off the road and netting to the side fencing would make this space a secure dog space too. Beyond the property, off Water Lane which runs alongside, lies an area of meadow/garden to be included in the sale, laid to grass and extending to approximately 0.2 Acres (0.08 Hectares). This sizeable 'untouched' piece of land in the heart of the village yet discreet, also benefits from a Right of Way via the carriageway of the former Angel Inn just along the High Street, albeit presently overgrown and partially obstructed.
