25 Bedroom Manor House For Sale In Sudbury

OVERVIEW ** GUIDE PRICE £1,400,000 - £1,600,000 **

A charming Tudor style detached property brimming with character and offering exceptional potential-whether as a commercial enterprise, a private residence, or an alternative development opportunity. Formerly operating as a care home, the property spans over 11,000 square feet and is set within nearly 3 acres of mature grounds. Rich in heritage, the site dates back to the 1400s.

Please note: The photo shown was taken in June 2022 and reflects the property in its former prime. Since then, it has experienced some decline and now presents an exciting opportunity for restoration. While it does require refurbishment, the scale, character, and approved planning permissions make it a compelling prospect for those looking to breathe new life into a historic site. We highly recommend viewing the property in person to appreciate its potential and envision what it could become.

In May 2024, full planning permission was granted for a change of use from Care Home (C2) to Hotel & Restaurant (C1/E(b)). Approved plans include the addition of kitchen and orangery extensions, a newly designated car park, a detached new-build structure for supplementary accommodation, a dedicated storage facility, and comprehensive landscaping enhancements.
