1 Bed Detached House To Rent

Property Reference: 2346015.

A 120 square metre converted barn at the end of a terrace of three properties, set in peaceful and secluded grounds within-the-dale (and beside, about 50 metres from, the river Stour, in the countryside beside the beautiful village of Long Melford in south west Suffolk.

The electricity bill will be calculated  on or around the time of moving in, and be added to the rent, but we estimate it will be set to £150 per month. Similarly the water, which at £25 per month will be a low amount as the property has its own (shared) septic tank, and the internet, at £42 per month for a 200 Megabyte optical fibre all the way to the building (with one internal booster to extend the signal into the bedroom and bathroom) service would sum to £217 per month leaving the tenant to administer the gas bill and council tax on their own behalf. 

The barn proper is an open plan room (with cooking area). The old tack room has been converted into a bedroom and bathroom.

• The bathroom is 17 square metres (4 x 4).
  
• The bedroom is 20 square metres (4 x 5).
  
• The open plan room is 83 square metres (17 x 5).
  
• Total 120 square metres internal floor area.
  

The property benefits from off street parking, gas central heating, a private lawn, shared access to the Mill House orchard, the company of the collection of paintings (regrettably of no commercial value) displayed in the photographs, the extremely long table (chairs and white shelving) that also can be seen therein, a double bed with headboard, a large wardrobe in an 18th century neo-shaker style also in the bedroom, two sets of drawers in the bathroom, clothes washing and tumble dryer therein and wet room and a low cupboard, also in the 18th century Neo-shaker style, in the reception. There is an induction hob, a fridge, fridge-freezer and electric oven. In June 2020 twenty per cent of the exterior wall area of the main body (80 square metres) of the barn was insulated with cementatious weatherboard, in the traditional west Suffolk black (£1,250) and this was increased by 20 points (at the higher price of £2,500) to 40% in 2021 and then 20 points more to 60% in 2022 (£2,500). In 2023, The large French-windows and fixed-windows facing west that constitute 10% of the exterior of the main part of the barn were replaced (£6,700) with black striated composite, while the loft was heavily insulated. The next step (in improving the energy performance and longevity of the property) is to replace the large French-windows and fixed-windows facing east (the main entrance) that constitute 10% of the exterior of the main part of the barn with striated composite (£6,200). This job is scheduled for 09-Jun-25 and 10-Jun-25. The same thing being done to the bedroom outside facing stable style doors circa 01-Oct-25. 

Pets are allowed, for a mitigating charge of £50 per month per reasonable (so chimpanzees, for instance, not permitted) pet (single tortoises no charge).

Rent is payable three months (though there is no deposit)  in advance (rolling). This means months one to three are payable to close the contract. Month four becomes payable in month two, with subsequent payments periodic and monthly thereafter (and therefore no payment at the back end of the contract). 

For payment twelve months in advance there would be an 8% discount. Those bills that are added to the rent are excluded from the discount. For payment six months in advance there will be a 3% discount.
