Description
An elegant period house, situated in the heart of this well-regarded village, convenient for Bury St Edmunds
Situated within this well-served and regarded village, Suffolk House is an elegant period house with origins dating back to the 15th-century, with an elegant façade built in 1840, with its white-brick elevations under a slate roofline.
The property is graced with many notable original features, with contrasting personalities of the earlier timber-frame charm against the high ceilings and large sash windows of its later counterpart – as a whole, the property becomes a welcoming and graceful home enjoying a high degree of natural light.
Extending to around 2,800ft2 arranged over two floors, the property comprises a large reception hall, a drawing room with attractive fireplace, a double aspect dining room with cast iron fireplace and original serving hatch.
There is a heavily timbered study with inglenook fireplace, cloakroom, and a large sitting room, with exposed timbers and inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.
The Aga kitchen has been fitted with a 4-oven oil-fired Aga bespoke shaker-style base and eye level units with matching dresser, solid wood worktops and tiled flooring, leading out to a boot room and utility room.
The beautifully carved staircase leads to a spacious large landing, with the two front bedrooms forming part of the Victorian wing, one with a large en suite bathroom, whilst to the back of the property are three further bedrooms, family bathroom and shower room.
Outside
The property is approached from the road leading across to an extensive gravelled driveway with detached single garage.
The grounds extend to 0.24-acre, incorporating a large terrace seating area, a variety of mature trees and newly turfed lawn, enclosed by close-panelled fencing.
