THE PROPERTY
The Next House in Cavendish is a remarkable grade II listed property that offers spacious and comfortable living across three floors, all whilst nestled in the charming village of Cavendish and displays a wealth of character features dating back to the 17th century, if not earlier.

On the ground floor the property provides an entrance hall, dining room with bay window, a rear sitting room with views and door opening to the glazed veranda and the garden, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room and cloakroom. With five bedrooms on the first floor, this home provides ample accommodation for a growing family or those who desire additional space. The bedrooms are well-sized and offer plenty of space, with a second floor offering further scope to convert. There is currently also an inspiring vaulted painting and crafts studio/living room, with kitchenette and ‘minstrels’ gallery above, which could either be an extra, principal bedroom or fantastic first floor living room.

The Next House has been a superb family home for the current owner for decades and whilst the property would benefit from modernisation, this aspect should be seen as an excellent opportunity to improve in the manner that a buyer would like for themselves. With a touch of creativity and personalisation, this property has the potential to be transformed back into a dream home that perfectly suits the needs of prospective purchasers.

OUTSIDE
One of the highlights of The Next House is its charming, mainly wall enclosed gardens. These beautiful, mature and well-maintained outdoor spaces provide the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining and entertaining, or of course for gardening enthusiasts. The useful period outbuildings, workshop, and garaging are well utilized as they are, but could also (subject to the relevant planning and listed building consents) could potentially be converted into an incoming generating annexe property. There is a shared track to the right-hand side of the house that gives access to the garage, which then gives access through the garden to the back of the house

LOCATION
Cavendish is deservedly considered to be one of the prettiest villages in Suffolk, being centered around a picturesque village Green with a fine parish church adjacent. With an impressive collection of both timber frame and brick-built properties the village also benefits from a community village store, an historic village inn and a primary school. Further amenities can be found in the nearby town of Clare, which is extremely well served and has excellent everyday facilities including two schools, several pubs/restaurants, B&Bs, a hotel, a doctor’s surgery, a castle and a church. The nearby towns of Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and Haverhill provide further educational and recreational facilities. There is easy access to the A14, the A11(M11) and Cambridge. For the rail commuter there is a link line service from Sudbury to London Liverpool Street, via Marks Tey (approx. 80 mins), or to the west from either Whittlesford or Audley End to the City.

DIRECTIONS
From Bury St Edmunds proceed on the A134 into Long Melford. Take the right turn onto the A1092, signposted Cavendish. On reaching Cavendish, proceed through the village and just before the Green, The Next House will be found on the right, opposite a village pond.
