Long Melford, Sudbury, CO10

This charming detached five-bedroom house is centrally located within touching distance of all the wonderful amenities Long Melford has to offer. Unusually for a property on Hall Street, this property is fully detached with ample off-road parking and garaging boasting generous size rooms full of natural light from the sash windows with private walled grounds to the rear.  

THE PROPERTY The Gables has a wonderful elegant appearance coming from its double fronted redbrick façade, cornice hood detailing, double hung sash window and original octagonal chimney shafts. Many of these character features continue throughout with large sash windows filling the spacious square rooms, associated with Georgian era, with natural light. 16th century features are found in many of the rooms in the form of exposed studwork, original beams and feature mullion window providing a glimpse of the properties history.

A plain column portico and solid wood panel door brings you to the entrance hall which is an incredibly inviting central room with Georgian style staircase guiding you to first floor with exposed timbers and bench seating finished with a quarry tile floor. Two reception rooms can be found either side of the entrance hall, one of which is a more formal dining room, the other being a heavily timbered double aspect drawing room with two soft red brick fireplaces with inset coal effect gas burning stoves. Stretching across the back of the property you will find a particularly sociable kitchen/breakfast room leading onto a wonderful orangery offering panoramic views over the rear garden with access to the rear terrace for entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of traditional high quality units from Knights country kitchens, with granite worktop above and a three-oven gas AGA with further ceramic hob nestled in an original fireplace. Other integrated appliances include a combination oven and warming tray, dishwasher and full-height fridge, larder cupboard and walk-in pantry. This is a particularly heavily timbered room with an original mullion window and glass covered Well with uplighting. A solid wooden door from the kitchen/breakfast room leads through to what was an original outbuilding converted in 2003 to a large boot room offering fantastic cupboard storage and space for other white goods with neighbouring utility room, again with extensive storage, with doors to both the driveway and rear garden with the addition of a downstairs wet room. This has been incredibly well thought-out for practical modern living.
