Six-bedroom period home with pool, studio and huge gardens close to Bury St Edmunds.
Six double bedrooms; principal suite with en suite and dressing room
Set beside the village church, this six-bedroom Old Rectory offers generous, light-filled rooms with high ceilings, sash windows and a series of reception rooms ideal for family living and entertaining. The layout flows from entrance hall and conservatory into five reception rooms, an Aga kitchen with island, and useful service areas including two utility rooms, a larder and extensive cellars. The principal suite includes air conditioning, a dressing room and a large en suite; five further bedrooms and three additional bathrooms complete the first floor.
Outside the house sits within about 1.1 acres of established, landscaped grounds with sweeping lawns, mature trees, orchard and a kitchen garden. A sheltered walled courtyard contains a heated swimming pool (heated via an air source heat pump), pool house and a separate studio/office, plus a covered barbecue area. Drive through electric gates to a private drive with generous parking, detached double garage, carport and several outbuildings useful for storage and garden machinery.
The property is well suited to a family seeking a character home with space for home working and leisure, close to Bury St Edmunds and local schools. Practical benefits include CCTV, an alarm system and double glazing fitted after 2002.
Buyers should note some important practical considerations: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, the main house walls are solid brick and assumed uninsulated, and the EPC is rated E. Broadband speeds are very slow for the area and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is offered chain free, which can ease any onward move.
