West Row is an attractive village located in the county of Suffolk. It is situated approximately 3 miles north-west of the town of Mildenhall and 10 miles north-east of the city of Cambridge.

Description
Nos. 137 and 139 Church Road comprise two individual dwelling houses of historical and architectural merit. The properties form a single structure and stand at right angles to Church Road.

No. 139 is the earlier of the two dating back to the mid 15th Century and is considered to have been a Medieval Open Hall. It contains many interesting structural fixtures, notable framing and roof timbers together with lath and plaster walls.

No. 137 is a mid-Victorian brick house of gault brick laid in Flemish Bond with a low pitched, pantile roof and red brick dressing to the doors and windows. The attached floor plan shows the configuration of rooms. To the front and rear of the houses is an area of garden.

The properties require total renovation.

Orchard Land
An attractive orchard area of grassland lies to the rear (north) of the houses and is served by a separate access off Church Road.

Standing on the land are a number of garden buildings used for storage and several mature and productive Walnut trees. The land provides a delightful open space. The orchard land which is offered as a separate lot extends to 1.95 acres or thereabouts.

Anti-Money Laundering
Should you wish to proceed with an offer on this property, we are obligated by HMRC to conduct mandatory Anti-Money Laundering Checks. We outsource these checks to our compliance partners at Coadjute and they charge a fee for this service. We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property as prescribed by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Coadjute who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £33.00 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable. Lacy Scott & Knight do not receive any commission for this payment/service.
