THE PROPERTY
Dating back to the 16th Century, Market House is an important historical house in Lavenham, with a handsome façade which was altered in the 17th Century creating a three-gabled front. Behind this impressive façade is a welcoming entrance hall with original brick flooring, providing access to the front reception room, with a great display of honey-coloured timbers, fine fireplace, tall ceilings, and large bay window with bench seating flooding the space with natural light. The dining room offers similar proportions and is a great social space with rare views over the Market Square. Beyond is the open plan kitchen/breakfast room exposed studwork creating an informal divide between the two spaces, the Aga kitchen has great storage and countertop space with a large pantry, the dining space offers charming views over the gardens thanks to the large glass apertures capturing the West facing aspect.

On the first-floor is the generous principal bedroom with ensuite shower and bathroom, two further double bedrooms, one of which has an impressive vaulted timbered ceiling, both with a family bathroom to serve them. On second floor is a further double bedroom 4, but currently laid out as a spacious games room and office which is another perfectly suitable use for the space, with far reaching chimney pot views.
