House For Sale £825,000
This outstanding detached 3100 sq.ft village house provides a substantial level of particularly spacious accommodation, complemented by generous South facing gardens, whilst enjoying a quiet lane setting within the well served village of Barrow.
Burthorpe House has in more recent years been the subject of considerable improvement and offers a surprising level of particularly flexible accommodation including the potential for a self-contained adjoining annexe, whilst also further benefiting from solar pv panels, oil fired central heating and double glazing.
The well-presented accommodation possesses a bright and airy atmosphere and currently in brief comprises: UPVC double glazed entrance door opening to a reception hall with stairs off to first floor and door to a ground floor cloakroom. The spacious sitting room has a feature bay window to side, French doors to gardens and of particular note is the fireplace with stone and marble surround. The dining room is an ideal room for entertaining with French doors to the South facing gardens and could be incorporated into a large kitchen/family room with some alteration if desired. The impressive kitchen breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of quality units complemented by granite preparation surfaces, built-in appliances and French doors to a large conservatory with two sets of doors opening to the terrace and gardens. There is a side hall with door to gardens and a separate utility room. A spacious study/family room with stairs off to first floor and a snug are two comfortable receptions, providing potential to be used as an independent annexe if required, with own entrance door in place.
First Floor Accommodation
On the first floor is a light and airy landing with airing cupboard and window to front. In all there are five generous bedrooms (two of which are particularly spacious, measuring 20ftx13ft, and both having En-suites. Another bedroom is being used as a walk-in dressing room) and a family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside
The house is approached through a pair of smart electrically operated timber gates opening to an expansive tarmac driveway providing a huge amount of parking suitable for camper van/motorhome etc, whilst leading to a detached double garage and more recently built double bay cart-lodge garage.
The gardens are a delightful feature extending to the front, side and rear and provide the occupants with a good degree of privacy. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn, South facing and are stocked with an abundance of flowering plants, shrubs and mature trees. A large sandstone and paved side and rear terrace provides a fantastic area for outdoor entertaining and Al-Fresco dining.
Location
The house enjoys a fine setting situated along a quiet lane in this small and exclusive hamlet known as Burthorpe Green, located on the outskirts of the village of Barrow which provides a good range of local facilities including shop, post office, church, village hall, primary school, children’s nursery and two pubs including the highly regarded "Willow Tree". The village is situated only five miles to the West of Bury St Edmunds and offers excellent access to the A14 dual carriageway, linking Newmarket, Cambridge and London via the M11 Motorway.

Follow the road and turn right again at the small green towards Stoney Lane, where the entrance to the house will be found a short distance further on the right-hand side.
