It also has two stately homes, Kentwell Hall and Melford Hall, the latter being a National Trust property and both open to the general public throughout the year. This bustling village has a wide range of shops, boutiques, public houses, restaurants and hotels. The Long Melford office is one of the most established within the group having operated from the same premises next to the ancient Bull Hotel in the centre of the village for nearly 20 years. The building is a busy environment with the hustle and bustle of the Sales and Lettings team throughout the building working alongside Accountancy, Administration and the Humans Resources departments.
