Description
London House is an attractive detached building of timber frame construction with pink rendered elevations, in a picturesque part of the popular village of Great Thurlow. The substantial Grade II Listed building, which is understood to date from the 17th Century, was formerly used as a post office, from which it retains its mixed-use configuration.
The property is in need of refurbishment, and has recently received planning permission and Listed Building consent, to form a residential dwelling and residential annex, making it ideal for owner occupiers and developers alike.

Ground floor: Entrance Hall with stairs to first floor; Study; Sitting Room; Kitchen/Breakfast Room; Utility Room; Cloakroom.
