Summary - THURLOW HOUSE LONG THURLOW BURY ST. EDMUNDS IP31 3JA
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious family living with one-acre gardens and countryside views.
6 bedrooms across three floors, flexible family accommodation
Thurlow House is a substantial extended Victorian family home set within around one acre of mature, south-facing gardens. The house combines original period features — sash and bay windows, fireplaces and high ceilings — with modern updates such as a fitted kitchen, four bathrooms and 14 solar panels. Flexible accommodation across three floors provides multiple reception rooms, a useful second-floor suite for a home office or guest suite, and ancillary outbuildings including a gym/home office, workshop and double cart lodge.
The plot and setting are standout strengths: a wide gravel drive, extensive off-street parking, formal lawns, fruit trees and a meadow provide privacy and a strong rural outlook in a small hamlet. Practical additions include a garage, two stables, external power points and a recently replaced oil boiler and hot water tank. The house will suit a family looking for generous living space, home-working options and scope for further sympathetic updating.
Buyers should be aware of practical considerations typical of a large period property. Heating is oil-fired (not a community system) and council tax is in a high band, increasing running costs. Broadband speeds are recorded as slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect heavy remote-working or streaming needs. The property will also require ongoing maintenance associated with older fabric and substantial grounds.
Overall, this address will appeal to families seeking a private, characterful country home with modern conveniences and considerable outdoor space, and to those prepared to manage upkeep and rural utilities costs in return for scale, privacy and flexibility.
