Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
A large 2,000sq-ft chalet bungalow requiring renovation, situated on the edge of the village in a quiet rural setting, all in 0.5-acre.



well-regarded village, Chegada is a large chalet bungalow extending to around 2,000ft2 of accommodation arranged over two floors.

The property has been under the same ownership for many decades, and whilst it was no doubt a much-loved home, it clearly requires considerable renovation in all aspects – and whilst it is not for the faint hearted, we believe such a rare opportunity to renovate (or redevelop altogether) will be a rewarding endeavor, particularly due to the large garden and desirable location.

The ground floor offers a versatile arrangement of accommodation comprising reception hall, large sitting room, a dining room with staircase up to the first floor, kitchen/breakfast room, study/bedroom 4, a further double bedroom, bathroom and conservatory.

On the first floor are two bedrooms with attic store

Outside
Chegada is approached from the village lane onto a concrete driveway, with metal gate opening to extensive parking and detached garage.
The plot extends to around 0.5-acre, with a variety of mature trees and shrubs, a range of timber sheds and greenhouse. Whilst it is largely overgrown, we spotted a former pond, as well as plenty of areas for clearing and creating a wonderful garden.

We have made some enquiries, and we are not aware of any Tree Preservation Order’s on site, but would ask interested parties to make their own investigations.

Services
Mains water, drainage and electricity. Oil-fired heating.

Location
Melford Road is on the rural fringes of Lawshall, well-regarded for its undulating landscape, the village is well-placed for the market towns of Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury.

The village itself has a well-supported public house and church, with further amenities available from Long Melford and the historic medieval village of Lavenham. Bury St Edmunds has many striking ancient landmarks, to include Suffolk’s only cathedral, and a magnificent Guildhall, England’s oldest complete civic building. Georgian gems include the exquisite Theatre Royal, our country’s only surviving Regency theatre.

Modern Bury St Edmunds has all the attractions you would expect in a 21st-century town, with everything from national brands to independent stores, including the state-of-the-art Arc shopping centre. The award-winning twice-weekly market offers a wide range of local produce.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
