Hollybrook is a substantial, individually designed six-bedroom detached house set on about 3.1 acres on the village edge of Thurston. The property’s principal value drivers are its huge, private plot, mature specimen trees, and flexible family-focused layout with most accommodation on the ground floor and generous reception spaces that take advantage of south-facing garden views.
The house provides a large kitchen/breakfast room, triple-aspect sitting room with open fire, formal dining/garden room and a ground-floor bedroom wing with principal suite and two further doubles. Ancillary buildings include a double garage with workshop and a separate oak-floored garden studio/gym. The position in a small hamlet gives countryside outlooks while remaining convenient for Thurston and Bury St Edmunds.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (not linked to a community system), the EPC is rated D and council tax is in a high band. Parts of the outlying land—former vegetable plots and woodland—have been untended and contain redundant tin and timber sheds, so further landscaping or removal work will be needed for anyone wanting immediate grazing or equine use. The vendors have imposed a development overage of 25% on any uplift on the land for 21 years.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking significant outdoor space and privacy, or someone wanting small-holding/equine potential close to village amenities. The house offers immediate comfortable living with clear scope to reposition or upgrade services and outbuildings to enhance long-term value.
