The Saddlery, Little St Mary's, Long Melford, Sudbury, CO10 9LQ

Summary

Long Melford Saddlery comprises a set of immediately charming and sprawling commercial spaces wrapped within a striking and attractive period building in the very heart of Long Melford. This substantial property has enjoyed a long and successful period of trade within the main village thoroughfare, and boasts considerable character throughout by virtue of its period beams, fireplaces and pretty sash windows.

The property incorporates a significant yard area which immediately suggests that extensive re-development of the site could be possible subject to obtaining the necessary consents. There would appear to be scope for further commercial activities on site and there are a number of very strong precedents locally whereby characterful commercial buildings, with previous residential use, have had this restored to provide a more balanced and authentic appearance to this central village location.

Key Points

Location

Long Melford is a fine village characterised by its wide variety of architecture, shops, and famous green dominated by the Holy Trinity Church (once described as the most moving parish church in England). The nearby market towns of Sudbury (3 miles) and the cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds (15 miles) offer a comprehensive range of facilities, the former with a commuter rail link to London’s Liverpool Street (90 minutes).

The property is exceptionally well located on vibrant Little St. Mary’s, in the centre of Long Melford, a much-loved Suffolk Wool Town with an excellent range of amenities including GP practice, pharmacy, grocery stores, independent shops, library, pubs, restaurants and monthly farmers’ market. The city of Colchester with its mainline railway station to London Liverpool Street is just 18 miles distant. The surrounding Stour Valley countryside is absolutely delightful - gently sloping, quintessential rural Suffolk. Country walks and numerous country pursuits are quite literally on your doorstep. The whole area has been immortalised by the paintings of Constable and Gainsborough.
