Large garden, character rooms and renovation potential near Bury St Edmunds.
Private village setting with long shingled driveway and double garage
Set well back from the lane in a private village setting near Bury St Edmunds, this detached country house offers generous living space and mature gardens on a large plot. The property retains strong character: high ceilings, exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, a wine cellar and sash-style windows with traditional shutters. Five reception rooms plus ancillary spaces give flexibility for family living, working from home or hobby uses.
The house requires renovation and updating throughout — roof, services and decorative finishes will need attention, and a glazed lean-to specifically needs restoration or replacement. The heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; purchasers should note oil supply and running costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive, which will add to occupancy costs.
Outside, a long shingled driveway, double garage and a large log store support practical needs, while mature lawns, fruit trees, wildlife pond and productive garden provide significant outdoor value and privacy. With potential for up to six bedrooms across the floors and good internal room proportions, the house suits a large family seeking character and space or a buyer looking to remodel to personal taste.
Practical points: broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, and the plot has no identified flood risk. Buyers planning significant works should budget for renovation, possible service upgrades and ongoing fuel costs.
