Church Walk, Long Melford, Suffolk, CO10

LOCATION: Long Melford is a fine village characterised by its wide variety of architecture, shops and famous green dominated by the Holy Trinity Church (once described as the most moving parish church in England). The nearby market towns of Sudbury (3 miles) and the cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds (15 miles) offer a comprehensive range of facilities, the former with a commuter rail link to London Liverpool Street (90 minutes). 

SUMMARY: This charming period cottage occupies a lovely position at the top of Long Melford's famous village green, only a stone's throw away from the stunning Holy Trinity church. The property has been sympathetically re-furbished and now provides accommodation of considerable character over three floors that is further complemented by a 60ft long landscaped South-West facing garden and useful studio/summer house. The cottage has been successfully run as a holiday let and offers a viable investment with significant income potential but would equally serve beautifully as a full-time residence or weekend home.
