Suffolk: Grade I listed Stowmarket church up for sale

Probably one of the most unique and quirkiest properties on the market, the St Andrews Church in Mickfield, near Stowmarket, boasts three bedrooms and two reception rooms. 

Set in the rolling fields of Mid Suffolk, the church was first built in the early 14th century and likely incorporates parts of an earlier Saxon church that previously existed on the site.

The church was retired by the Diocese of East Anglia in 1977 and was brought back to life by the Anglia Church Trust.

The property has undergone significant renovations by English Heritage and offers the opportunity to live in a truly unique and historic home.

Many feature periods have been retained throughout the church, which also benefits from off-road parking for several vehicles and a detached garage/workshop that benefits from a conversion to two bedroom ancillary annexe accommodation. 

The kitchen is fitted with wall base units with worktops incorporating single drainer sink unit and spaces for cooker range, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
