Description
A wonderful opportunity to purchase a former Village Hall, located on the outskirts of the popular west Suffolk village of Kentford.
The property benefits from a site measuring circa 0.3acres, within which the current village hall sits close to the northern boundary in a central position.
The property was originally constructed as a village school and is of brick construction with a render finish, and was extended to the rear in the middle of the 20th century. The site has not been actively used for approx. 10 years.
The site is likely to appeal to owner/occupiers and developers alike.
Tenure
Freehold with vacant possession
Location

From the centre of Kentford, head east on the B1506 Bury Road and the property is one of the last on the right hand side, when leaving the village.
Kentford benefits from good transport links with nearby access to the Kennett railway station, and has a small range of shops and services available.
