About
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.
LOCATION Brookwood Manor is close to Great Waldingfield which is a popular, thriving village midway between the market town of Sudbury and the historic medieval village of Lavenham.
The main, newer part of the village has a shop/post office, village hall, primary school, garage and pub. Sudbury lies on the River Stour with its beautiful water meadows.
The town has an excellent range of local shops, larger retail outlets and major supermarkets.
Numerous recreational facilities include a small theatre and modern leisure complex, and there is a good selection of secondary schools including the Ormiston Academy and Thomas Gainsborough School.
The railway station provides shuttle trains through to the main London and Colchester line with fast services on to Liverpool Street.
There are also good bus and road connections to the surrounding area. To the north is the historic cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds.
