Summary - 8 SICKLESMERE ROAD BURY ST EDMUNDS IP33 2BW
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot with extensive parking and a south‑west private garden near town.
Approximately 2,500 sqft five-bedroom detached family home
A substantial five-bedroom detached house of almost 2,500 sqft, recently improved to a high standard and laid out for comfortable family living. The house benefits from a generous rear extension with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors, creating a bright, flexible living space that flows to a low-maintenance south‑west garden. An expansive kitchen/breakfast room and a separate sitting room with a wood-burning stove add everyday practicality and charm.
Practical strengths include a private driveway with parking for 6–7 cars plus an integral single garage, fast broadband availability and excellent mobile signal, and easy walking access to Bury St Edmunds town centre. The loft conversion provides a large master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite; a second double also has an ensuite cloakroom. Local schools, shops and transport links (A14/A134) are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note the house was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean further energy-efficiency improvements are desirable. Council Tax sits above average and there are two main bathrooms for five bedrooms (ensuites mitigate this). Overall this is a roomy family home on a large plot with scope for further modernisation if required.
