Plumbers Mews Wickhambrook, CB8 8PB
Plumbers Mews is a delightful blend of new and old, comprising 2 apartments, a 4 bedroom house within the original Pub development and a brand new 2 bedroom barn, all with private parking. 16 miles from Bury st Edmunds 9 miles from Haverhill 10 miles from Newmarket (Distances are approximate) HISTORY The Plumbers Arms is an early 19 th century Grade II listed property which sits on the fringes of the village border with Denston and dates back to 1720. Strangely, at one time, the pub had one bar in Denston while another bar was classed as being in Wickhambrook. It is said that you would order beer in Wickhambrook and they fetch it from Denston! Now boundary changes mean the land either side of the pub is classed as Wickhambrook, while the pub building itself is in Denston. Local Developers, Parry Properties have after many months of careful design, had permission to convert the original pub into 3 properties which will consist of a one bedroom ground floor apartment with basement and own access; an exceptionally large two bedroom duplex apartment over the first and second floor of the pub. The back of the pub has been converted into Merlot House, a 4 bedroom family home, with many original fireplaces and characteristics remaining. The property has a large garden, its own drive and a cart lodge with space for 2 vehicles. Moonshine Barn is a brand new 2 bedroom detached barn property with a wrap around garden and private parking to the side.
