Spacious Grade II listed townhouse with garden, parking and strong family potential.
Grade II listed Victorian townhouse with original period features
Set on Needham Market High Street, this Grade II listed mid-terrace townhouse combines substantial living space with genuine Victorian character. Exposed beams, sash windows and multiple open fireplaces create a warm, traditional atmosphere across two principal reception rooms and a large kitchen. A cellar and separate boot room add useful storage and utility space for family life.
Outside, the L-shaped walled garden provides private outdoor space and a patio, with a further parcel of land beyond the wall used for off-street parking and storage. The house is large (approximately 2,225 sq ft) and arranged over multiple storeys, offering four bedrooms that suit growing families or those needing home working space.
Practical positives include a recently fitted Worcester Bosch boiler (Sept 2023), mains gas central heating and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The property’s town-centre position gives easy access to local shops, rail links to Ipswich and London, and good primary schools nearby, making daily life convenient.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate planning consent and maintenance. The original timber-frame construction is recorded as having no insulation (assumed), so energy efficiency and thermal comfort may require investment. The layout includes only one bathroom for four bedrooms and the property will need some modernization to update services and finishes. Buyers should factor listed-status maintenance and potential retrofit work into budgets.
