Set on a mature, south-west facing plot of approximately 0.3 acre, this four-bedroom detached house offers substantial family accommodation and clear scope to modernise and extend (stpp). The layout includes a large sitting room with sliding doors to the garden, a separate family/dining room with bay window, kitchen with adjoining utility and a ground-floor wet room — practical for multi-generation living. The property is offered chain free and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
The house requires renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, insulation improvements and likely system upgrades are needed to bring it up to contemporary standards. The walls are cavity construction with no insulation assumed, and the build date and current condition present an opportunity for buyers wanting to add value through refurbishment or extension (subject to planning).
Practical strengths include a generous block-paved in/out driveway, detached double garage with internal access, sizeable south-west garden ideal for family use and outdoor entertaining, and a convenient non-estate location within easy reach of Bury St Edmunds town centre and local schools. Important practical notes: broadband performance is very slow in this location, council tax band is high, and local crime levels are reported above average — factors to consider when deciding suitability.
An open day is scheduled for Saturday 4th October 2025 between 2pm–6pm by appointment only. This property will suit a growing family or buyer seeking a refurbishment project in a desirable, well-located plot with scope to extend (stpp).
