Summary - 1 NEWMANS COTTAGES, THE GREEN, SUDBURY, CAVENDISH CO10 8BB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Project opportunity overlooking the village green for character restoration.
17th‑century terraced cottage with exposed timbers and character
A 17th‑century terraced cottage in the heart of Cavendish, facing The Green. The property retains many period features including exposed timbers and a traditional layout of two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a first‑floor bathroom. With around 1,069 sq ft of space, the cottage offers strong potential for a characterful restoration in a highly desirable village setting.
This house requires comprehensive repair and modernisation: there is assumed timber‑frame construction with no insulation, electric storage heating, an EPC rating of F and visible exterior wear. There is a flying freehold over the adjoining village shop, and the location is within a high flood‑risk area — these are material issues that will affect refurbishment plans and insurance.
For buyers comfortable with a project or investors targeting a character conversion, the online auction route (sale date: Tuesday 11 November) may suit. Prospective purchasers should budget for the administration fee (£1,200 inc VAT) and buyer’s premium (£1,560 inc VAT) payable on exchange, and consult the legal pack for disbursements. Viewing slots are by appointment on the listed dates.
Practical positives include the cottage’s large overall size, desirable village location close to local amenities and good broadband and mobile connectivity. However, expect significant expenditure to address energy performance, structural maintenance and flood mitigation before the property meets modern living standards.
