A substantial, characterful former coaching inn set on about 0.38 acres on the edge of Glemsford. The principal Georgian building (nine bedrooms in the main house) is complemented by three self-contained cottages, extensive gardens, outbuildings and ample off-street parking — creating a rare package for a large family or multi-generational household.
Planning permission has been granted to use the site as a single residential dwelling (Babergh ref DC/25/02515), which broadens mortgage options and simplifies long-term consolidation. The property retains many period features — exposed timbers, sash windows, fireplaces and exposed brickwork — and offers substantial internal space (circa 5,261 sq ft) with useful rooms including a large drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and numerous bathrooms and shower rooms.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area; this will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs and future redevelopment. Services are connected (main water, drainage, electricity; oil-fired heating) but have not been tested. While the gardens, outbuildings, workshop, greenhouse and cellar add useful scope and potential, maintenance of a listed, multi-building estate of this size is likely to be significant.
Chain-free sale and rural location close to countryside walks are strong practical advantages. The combination of substantial principal accommodation, three income-capable cottages and planning permission makes this a rare opportunity — best suited to a large family, purchaser seeking multi-generational living, or a buyer prepared to manage the responsibilities of a listed country property.
