Situation Petticotes is delightfully situated to the south of the village of Foxearth to the west of Sudbury, on the Essex/Suffolk borders surrounded by undulating countryside. Close by is the larger village of Long Melford with its wide range of quality shops and restaurants, and the town of Sudbury which provides further local shopping, education and recreational facilities. For the commuter there is a train service from Sudbury connecting at Marks Tey for London Liverpool Street. Description Petticotes is listed as being of Architectural or Historical Interest Grade II and is believed to date from the early 15th century with more recent additions. Constructed of timber frame, weatherboard and brick under a thatched and tiled roof the barn was converted in 1985 and provides good accommodation exuding a very comfortable feel. A front door opens into a hall with steps up to the dining room and sitting room, a beautiful room with a high vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, wood burner and double doors opening out onto the patio area. Off the hall is a bathroom with a corner shower cubicle, cloak room (used as walk in wardrobe), leading to the lovely kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is extremely well fitted with a range of wall and floor units, integral appliances and a Falcon electric range set in the chimney breast adjacent to a central island/breakfast bar. Off the kitchen/breakfast room is the utility room, well fitted with a boiler, water softener and plumbing for a washing machine. The first floor is reached by a short staircase off the dining room leading to a galleried landing/sitting area which overlooks the sitting room. The main bedroom overlooks the garden and fields and has an en suite shower room. Two of the three further bedrooms overlook the garden. Outside Petticotes is approached through a black five bar gate over a gravel drive leading to a three bay cart lodge and double garage with parking for a number of cars. Adjacent to the parking is a machinery store/outbuilding with a work bench (this previously had planning permission to convert into a two bedroom annex in 2009 but has since lapsed – application no. 09/01388/FUL). The beautiful gardens have been created by the present owners and the house nestles in its surroundings, surrounded by banks of shrubs, well stocked borders and trees with a paved walk way on two sides linking the patio areas. Lawns slope away from the house interspersed with a variety of young and mature trees and the garden is enclosed by post and rail fencing. To the south is a small paddock with two stables, bounded by post and rail fencing and trees.

W.C. 1862. PREFACE. TIIE Proprietors, in submitting to their Subscribers and the Public the present (being the Fifth) Edition of the Six HOME COUNTIES DIRECTORY, trust that it may • be found to be equal in accuracy to the previous Editions. Several additions have been made to the present volume : lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions have been included in the Topography of each County; it is stated under each Parish in what Hundred, Union and County Court District it is situate, as well as the Diocese, Archdeaconry and Rural Deanery; and the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given. The Post Office Savings Banks have been noticed; the names of the Parish Clerks are given under each Parish ; and lists of Farm Bailiffs of gentlemen farming their own land have been added. / The bulk of the Directory has again increased considerably: the Third Edition consisted of 1,420 pages; the Fourth had increased to 1,752 pages; and the present contains 1,986 pages. The value of the Directory, however, will depend principally on the fact that it has been most carefully corrected, every parish having been personally visited by the Agents during the last six months. The Proprietors have again to return their thanks to the Clergymen, Clerks of the Peace, Magistrates' Clerks, Registrars, and other Gentlemen who have assisted the Agents while collecting the information.
