This week's outstanding home on offer is one of Hadleigh's most iconic houses overlooking the town's cricket ground on the market with Chapman Stickels for £775k

The Property

Occupying a prominent position on the western edge of Hadleigh, The White Hart is a substantial detached house which according to its Grade II* listing dates from the 15th Century.

As the name suggests it served the town as a public house, how- ever, following a successful planning application a change of use to residential was granted in December 2018.

At around the same time, the property underwent extensive refurbishment works.

This includes six bedrooms, an entrance and an Inner Hall, a double reception room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, study, shower room, workshop or studio (former commercial kitchen), cellar, and family bathroom along with side and rear gardens and outbuildings.

Covering in excess of 3,850sq.ft, the extensive accommodation includes numerous rear additions of varying ages, two of which were necessary to facilitate its former A4/A3 commercial use.

These two modern, single storey additions comprised the restaurant kitchen -preparation room with an adjoining store which subject to a planning and listed building consent, could be demolished.

If implemented, the residual area would ultimately provide an additional 60sq.m of garden.

The original front sections of the house are heavily timbered throughout with front study, adjoining shower room and cellar which are accessed via the main entrance hall.

The core ground floor accommodation comprises an extensive, open plan front reception room which directly overlooks the cricket ground (this part of the house was the former bar and restaurant area).

Beyond is the central dining room and the tastefully refitted rear kitchen / breakfast room, which forms a later single storey addition.

Outside

The property offers gardens immediately to the side and rear of the house which currently consists of areas of shingle, paved areas and hardstanding.

Outbuildings include a detached weatherboarded garage / store located to the north-eastern boundary, with adjacent parking area.

Vehicular access will be the subject of a formal right of way, where a proposed shared drive will lead over the former pub car park and onto Gallows Hill.

Agents Note

A substantial range of fully modernised holiday lets comprising three units which are located beyond the proposed northern boundary are available by separate negotiation.

Subject to planning and highways approval, a strip of land located immediate to the east of the house could provide further vehicular access to the rear (via Bridge Street). This would also involve relocating the existing power supply.
