Summary - NETHERGATE HOUSE NETHERGATE STREET CLARE SUDBURY CO10 8NP
7 bed 3 bath Town House
Spacious Tudor home with river access and formal gardens, ideal for an established family.
Grade I listed early 16th-century townhouse with abundant original features
Nethergate House is a rare, early 16th-century Grade I listed townhouse offering about 5,000 sq ft of characterful living in the heart of Clare. Period features — exposed beams, multiple fireplaces, carved oak joinery and high ceilings — remain throughout, and principal reception rooms and a large bespoke kitchen/breakfast room suit family life and entertaining. The gardens are formal and extensive for a town property, with a paved dining terrace, mature planting and a decked jetty giving direct access to the River Stour.
The house provides seven principal bedrooms across three floors, including a vaulted master with a substantial en-suite, and flexible attic/office space useful for home working. Practical day-to-day living is supported by a large utility, pantry storage and modern kitchen appliances; broadband and mobile signal are strong. The plot is a genuine selling point — decent-sized, secluded compartments, mature trees and river frontage create a peaceful setting close to local amenities and good primary and secondary schools.
Important practical points are straightforward: the Grade I listing brings strict conservation obligations and will complicate alterations or extension work. The property sits in an area noted as having a high flood risk, so prospective buyers should commission specialist flood and insurance advice. There are three bathrooms for seven bedrooms and the house’s age means ongoing maintenance and sensitive conservation work are to be expected; services were not tested and should be independently checked. A Deed of Grant affects the side access and use of a connecting door, which may restrict some access arrangements.
This is best suited to an owner who values historic fabric, generous indoor/outdoor space and river access, and who is prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and flood-related considerations. For families seeking a distinctive, substantial home with direct river frontage in an affluent Suffolk town, Nethergate House offers rare scale and immediacy of character.
