A Georgian style building with 13 flats on Hadleigh High Street is up for auction, with guide price of more than £500k.

The imposing three-storey property is superbly located in the centre of this thriving ancient market town and will go under the hammer at an online market run by Goldings, next Wednesday (December 9), with a guide price starting at £550,000.

Originally the property, which was once owned by a Doctor Everett, who had a surgery in the back garden, which is no longer there.

Rumour had it that the Kray twins lived there after being evacuated from London and went to nearby Bridge School, which is now the arts and performance venue at Hadleigh School House.

Former residents have also spoken of two ghosts haunting the house, with a man who smoked a cigar and a woman who wore perfume with a skirt that rustled.

The 13 totally self-contained studio flats have their own kitchen and bathroom together with independent electricity supplies, and there is large garden, and dedicate parking at the back.

Goldings auctioneers claim the vendor has enjoyed a very strong yield with limited voids, yielding £4,265 pcm / £51,180p and say some of these tenancies are underlet to longstanding tenants and there is a gross yield potential circa. £62,500pa.
