Grade II* listed windmill, detached cottage, workshop and small retail unit, all in 0.24-acre within this well-regarded and highly sought-after village.
Property Oracle says ..
This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II* listed windmill, a detached cottage, a workshop and a small retail unit in the attractive Suffolk village of Bardwell. The property has four bedrooms and one bathroom but needs significant modernisation and updating to meet modern living standards.
The cottage itself shows signs of age, with dated décor, carpets, and kitchen and bathroom fittings. However, the presence of the windmill adds substantial character and potential, perhaps for unique business ventures or further development. The large garden offers substantial outdoor space. The location benefits from its proximity to Bardwell Church of England Primary School (although its Ofsted rating requires improvement) and the greater accessibility provided by Thurston train station.
The property represents a significant investment, requiring considerable work to reach its full potential. A comprehensive survey and costing for necessary renovations are crucial before proceeding with a purchase to accurately gauge the overall value for money and total cost of ownership. Buyers should be aware of the time, cost, and permitting requirements associated with maintaining and potentially renovating a Grade II* listed building. However, for the right buyer with the vision, patience, and resources, this property offers immense character and potential return. The listing price needs to be evaluated in context with a full renovation budget to determine its true value in the market.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
