Lot 3
3 and 4 Kiln Farm Cottages, Candle Street, Rickinghall, Suffolk (Diss, Norfolk) IP22 1LW A pair of cottages set in 0.39ac. One vacant and requiring renovation and the other let under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy.
Location: This is a small ‘hamlet’ lying within the parish of Rickinghall but quite separate from the village. Candle Street serves only the handful of properties along it and ends at the farm. Whilst being quite rural it is only a short drive into the village where there is a good range of facilities for daily use. Additionally, there is easy access onto the A143 giving a swift route to Diss around 6 miles to the north and from where there is a mainline train service to London Liverpool Street, or the fine old town of Bury St Edmunds is only 16 miles away. The Property: It is clear that this was once a single house and quite well timbered with its steeply thatched roof but it has been a pair of cottages (which are Listed as Grade II) for many years. On the current division between the cottages there is a significant area of overlap between the ground and first floor. Number 3 is vacant now that the long term tenant has left. This part of the property requires significant repair and updating. Number 4 is currently let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy and has been occupied by the current tenants since 2014. Outside: The property is set back from the road and overall is set within 0.158ha (0.39ac). The grounds are mainly laid to grass with some trees. At present only number 4 has vehicular parking off road but Candle Street is an unclassified road making a new access relatively straight forward. Services: Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. drainage to a modern treatment plant located on the adjacent land.
