Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom detached house offers versatile family living across generous, light-filled rooms. The heart of the home is an open-plan living/dining/sun room with floor-to-ceiling glazing, a modern log burner and access to a wide paved terrace — ideal for year-round family gatherings and easy flow to the large rear garden. A separate sitting/hobbies room plus a ground-floor wing provide genuine annexe or multi-generational living potential with its own bedroom and shower room.
Set within attractive half-acre grounds with mature trees, terraces, decking and a covered area with hot tub, the plot is a key draw for outdoor life, growing space (greenhouse) and practical storage (large timber shed and chicken run). Practical benefits include a long driveway, large attached garage (27'6" x 15'5”), solar panels with battery storage, mains gas central heating and no onward chain for a quicker move.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property dates from the mid-20th century so some elements may reflect that era and could need updating; glazing specification is not defined; broadband speeds in the area are very slow; and council tax is above average. The house offers strong potential to modernise where desired, making it suitable for buyers seeking space, privacy and scope to add value.
Located in a desirable village a few miles from Bury St Edmunds, the home sits close to well-regarded primary and secondary schools, local facilities and good transport links (A14 and mainline train services nearby). This property suits a family wanting long-term room to grow, flexible accommodation for relatives, and a substantial garden in a peaceful village setting.
