A stunning Victorian/Early Edwardian Property most recently used as a Chiropractic Clinic with potential for redevelopment or returning to a residential home (subject to planning)DESCRIPTION The property comprises a substantial late Victorian/early Edwardian villa dating from the first decade of the twentieth century and which is constructed of Suffolk white brick under a slate roof. Although originally detached, the property was extended in the early 1980's both at the rear and at the side to provide a link to the adjoining property at 12 Kings Hill which also formed part of the renowned Scofield Chiropractic Clinic at that time.

The building has been maintained to a good standard, all of the windows were replaced in 2021 with handmade double-glazed sashes and casements and the gas fired boiler was also replaced last year.

Part of the extension works undertaken in the early 1980's included a three-storey section at the rear to provide a wide easy rising ambulant staircase serving all three floors although there is already independent externally access to both the ground and lower ground floors.

Although plainly suited to some form of continued commercial use in the way of offices or clinic, the property has a clear potential for residential conversion to form a fine period house or for sub-division into two or more units. The rooms are well proportioned with good natural light and those at the front enjoy views over the Stour Valley. The building retains many original features with notable fireplaces in the two large rooms on the ground floor.
