High Street, Debenham, IP14 6QL

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.

The current owners, having owned the property since 1999 have moved the property across to being a stylish and comfortable home and in addition to keeping on top of day to day and periodic maintenance have installed a Grant Spira Condensing Wood Pellet boiler supplying domestic hot water and radiators.
