A Grade II listed apartment above a shop in Woodbridge has come up for sale at a guide price of £550,000.

Part of a timber-framed building that is believed to date back to the 18th century, 72 Thoroughfare is for sale with Fine & Country.

Because of its age, it offers well-proportioned rooms with exceptionally high ceilings and a number of distinctive period features. The shop front, below, is thought to have been added a century later.

The apartment is accessed by a private entrance at street level, with a communal courtyard and a designated parking space out back.
