A substantial Grade II listed high-street property in Sudbury, offered freehold at an accessible price. The ground floor presents a wide display frontage and a large open-plan sales area (c.34'8" x 27'), ideal for retail or showroom use, with ancillary kitchens and multiple cloakrooms. The first floor provides two large rooms, a kitchen and storage — useful as offices, staff accommodation or potential conversion subject to listed-building consent.
The building’s period timber frame and attractive façade give strong curb appeal in a pedestrianised town-centre location with good passing footfall and nearby public car parks. Total internal area is about 1,745 sq ft and there is a shared concrete yard with pedestrian access to a car park.
Notable constraints: Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate residential conversion or extensive refurbishment. The property needs renovation in parts (worn flooring, dated fixtures) and is located in an area with higher-than-average crime and a local classification of “Constrained renters,” which could affect certain tenant types and rental levels. Rateable value (2023) is £23,750, and there is no flood risk.
This suits an investor, experienced retailer, or developer comfortable working with listed buildings who wants a prominent town-centre asset with refurbishment upside. Careful planning and listed-building advice will be essential to realise residential conversion or major layout changes.
