Set within the Grade II listed Bakers Mill, this top-floor duplex penthouse blends industrial character with modern comforts. Exposed beams, semi-vaulted and high ceilings, and distinctive feature windows create a bright, airy living space with far-reaching village and countryside views. The flexible layout suits downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home with personality, or buyers looking for a character-rich retreat in a highly regarded medieval village.
The apartment is presented in good order with a contemporary kitchen, integrated appliances and a modern bath/shower room. A Juliet balcony and oriel/hoist window frame the outlook across rooftops and church spires. Practical benefits include lift access to the top floor, plentiful built-in storage and a rare double-length tandem garage for secure parking and extra storage — an unusual asset for a conversion of this type.
Important practical points are clear: the building’s Grade II listed status may restrict alterations and could affect permissions and future works. The property sits within a managed development with an average service charge of around £2,000 and share-of-freehold tenure; lease length is long (961 years). Council tax banding is not provided and should be confirmed.
Positioned moments from Lavenham’s Market Place, the home puts cafés, galleries, shops and village amenities within easy walking distance, while the surrounding countryside is immediately accessible. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, character and exceptional outlook this singular village penthouse offers.
