House For Sale £750,000
A rare opportunity to acquire an impressive Victorian house with just over 3,444 sqft of accommodation with an attractive south east facing garden situated on the extremely sought after Bury Road and positioned a short distance from the town centre and both the Rowley Mile and The July race courses.
Bury Lodge, No. 56 Bury Road, is a characterful and substantial six bedroom semi detached property believed to have been constructed around the 1870’s which sits at the top of one of the most prestigious avenues in Newmarket, the headquarters of British horseracing. No. 56 is bordered by the driveway to the Sir Michael Stoute and Roger Varian stables and opposite former champion trainer, John Gosden’s Clarehaven Stables. Each morning these, and many more of the town’s various strings of equine blue bloods file past the property on their way to their exercise and with the world famous Limekilns gallops within shouting distance and only a short walk to the Al Bahathri all weather gallops along with Warren Hill and Long Hill gallops, the property is perfectly placed for anyone with an interest either in horses or indeed the sport of kings as horseracing is universally known. The prestigious Bedford Lodge Hotel is a five minute walk away. The town’s two racecourses are only a mile and half away with racing from April through to November on both the classic Rowley Mile course and the beautiful July Course. The thriving High Street is a pleasant one mile stroll away with the bustling cities of both Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds just a fifteen minute drive.
Arranged with accommodation over three floors the interior has retained much character by way of deep plaster cornicing, fireplaces, deep skirting boards and panelled doors. Upon entering the property one is immediately struck by the overall space further enhanced by typically Victorian high ceilings. The ground floor accommodation comprises three reception rooms with the stylish drawing room benefiting with a cast iron fireplace and bay window to the front aspect. The kitchen/breakfast room is very bright, benefits from a double aspect. The kitchen itself has been fitted with a range of base and eye-level units. There is a separate utility room with additional units and space/plumbing for appliances. Finally, there is a cloakroom W.C. And a personal door leading to the basement which houses the gas boiler.
Upstairs the bedrooms are split over two floors, the first housing beds 1,2 and 3 coupled with a large family bathroom which has been fitted with a 3 piece suite. The principle bedroom is particularly spacious and has fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom which has dual entry which can be used as an additional family bathroom. On the second floor are the remaining three double bedrooms with bedroom 5 having double glazed door leading to the Juliet balcony. Completing the second floor is a spacious 3 piece bathroom, as well as a store room.
Outside the front of the property is set back from Bury Road and screened by a variety of trees and mature hedging. There is a shingled driveway providing ample parking and access to a large garage with a roller door. A noteworthy feature is the impressive south-east facing rear garden offering a superb degree of privacy. There is a patio area adjacent to the property, very well suited to alfresco dining and excellent for entertaining purposes. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered with a variety of shrubs, trees and stocked beds.
Agents Note:
There is potential to purchase some additional garden from the neighbouring property. This will be under a sperate negotiation.
