Own a piece of Downham Market’s history as Grade II listed building goes on market for £890,000





A historic eight-bedroom house in the heart of Downham has gone up for sale for £890,000.

The Priory, a Grade II listed building, has been described as “certainly the oldest residential property” in the town and is now on the market.

The 17th-century property has been renovated but is said to still maintain its historic features - according to estate agent Fine and Country which is selling the property.

A sauna, gym and library are features of this house - which also has its own underground wine cellar.

The property is spaced out across four floors and has a total of eight bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Located on the corner of London Road and Priory Road, the Priory has its own private garden and courtyard area.

Fine and Country has described the property, which spans across 4,201 sq ft, as a “legacy waiting to be embraced”.

“Exposed beams, intricate mouldings, and impressive fireplaces creating a captivating atmosphere throughout the residence,” a spokesperson for the estate agents added.

The property also boasts a drawing room on the second floor which the estate agents recommend for entertaining guests in.
