Summary - 4, London Road, DOWNHAM MARKET PE38 9BZ
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious, historic seven‑bedroom manor with private walled garden and gated parking..
Grade II listed manor with historic 13th–14th century vaulted cellar
A rare Grade II listed manor in the heart of Downham Market, The Priory blends documented history with a sympathetic, modern refurbishment. The house offers seven bedrooms (four en suites), four further reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room and a notable 13th–14th century vaulted cellar — substantial space arranged across multiple levels to suit a large or multi‑generational household.
Restoration work completed over the past 14 years has preserved period features — exposed timbers, wide plank floors, high‑quality joinery and sash windows — while adding contemporary comforts such as gas central heating, modernised services and a fitness room with sauna. The private walled, south‑facing garden and gated off‑street parking create an enclosed, town‑centre retreat for family life and entertaining.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and can complicate future works and insurance; council tax is in Band G and described as quite expensive; the local area records higher crime and relative deprivation compared with regional averages. These are important for buyers to weigh alongside the house’s size, provenance and excellent rail links to Cambridge and London.
This is a character‑rich, recently refreshed period home aimed at buyers wanting a distinctive multi‑generational residence with entertaining potential and historic provenance, who are comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and higher running costs.
