A charming two bedroom ground floor apartment discreetly located in the historic hub of Hadleigh
Description
Attractively set to the end of a minor ‘no through road’, 9 Queen Street is a spacious Grade II Listed apartment comprising the entire ground floor of a former three storey Victorian townhouse. Built in 1838, the property provides architectural features which are typical of its era, including symmetrically proportioned rooms with high ceilings and sash windows that provide much natural light. Of particular note are the delightful views over the south-west facing garden and the adjacent St Mary’s Churchyard via both double bedrooms. The spacious sitting room provides further views over the attractive street scene of Queen Street, where all the neighbouring properties were built at the same time. Beyond the sitting room is the kitchen / breakfast room which is fitted on two walls with numerous cupboards and drawers, integral appliances and worksurfaces with inset gas hob and extractor over.
Outside, a courtyard to the rear (south) provides a raised decking area and pedestrian access onto Church Walk. Connected to the pantry is a former washhouse which comprises the utility room with two adjoining stores.
A further area of garden is to the west which enjoys fabulous views over the neighbouring churchyard. Defined by a white picket fence, the garden consists of a seating area and path flanked by areas of lawn.
Queen Street is located in the centre of the town, with the High Street only some 50 metres away. Hadleigh is a popular and picturesque historic market town offering an extensive range of local amenities including restaurants, pubs, educational and sports facilities and a wide selection of independent shops. There is a wonderful variety of period properties, and the town is surrounded by gently rolling countryside.
