Summary - TANWOOD DRINKSTONE BURY ST EDMUNDS IP30 9SR
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Characterful refurbished village home with large gardens and studio.
Three bedrooms plus family bathroom and separate cloakroom
A handsome 17th‑century timber‑framed cottage, Tanwood has been sensitively refurbished to retain period character while offering comfortable family accommodation. The two‑storey home features exposed beams, Tudor brickwork, three fireplaces and a newly installed wood‑burning stove that make the living spaces warm and inviting. The kitchen is a strong focal point with bespoke cabinetry, reclaimed Elm worktops and a range cooker set into the original chimney recess.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with three bedrooms, a family bathroom plus a separate cloakroom and a useful utility room. Practical upgrades include a full rewire, underfloor heating to parts of the ground floor and double glazing. The property sits back from the lane with off‑street parking, mature front and rear gardens and a garden studio, and benefits from wide countryside views at the foot of the garden.
Important practical points: the house is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators (not a community supply), broadband speeds are reported slow, and the original timber‑frame walls are assumed to have little or no insulation. These factors may affect running costs and comfort unless further improvements are made. The layout and cottage proportions are cosy rather than expansive — ceilings and some rooms are modest in height and scale.
Tanwood will suit buyers wanting a characterful village cottage with modern comforts and excellent setting — ideal for families or those seeking a countryside retreat within easy reach of Bury St Edmunds and local rail links. For buyers seeking a low‑maintenance, fully modernised home or rapid high‑speed internet, further upgrades should be considered.
