THE PROPERTY
Kestrel is a beautifully presented detached, family home that has been owned and improved over the past couple of years to the excellent standard that is now clear to see.

The utility room, opening from the kitchen, has a door leading out to the driveway to the side and is fitted with a work surface with stainless steel sink unit, plumbing for white good appliances, a cupboard housing the wall mounted gas fired boiler and the floor is also tiled. There is also a versatile study space currently used as a snug/sensory room with window to the front.
On the first floor the spacious galleried landing with double cupboard housing the hot water tank and affording space for linen storage shelving, leads to the five comfortable family bedrooms, the master of which enjoys a double aspect, an en-suite bath/shower room and built-in wardrobes; Bedroom two also enjoys an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobe cupboards and bedrooms three and four are also equipped with built-in wardrobes. Bedroom five, being the smallest of the bedrooms, is currently utilised as a study room/home office but has previously held a double bed and furniture. There is also a well fitted family bath/shower room.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached over a block paved driveway, the initial part being shared with the neighbouring property, with the private drive leading to the ample parking to the front and side of the property and giving access to the detached double garage which benefits from two up and over doors to the front, power and light.
The front garden is hedged to the front and side and mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders to the front of the house and a paved path leading from the drive to the front door. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and benefits from being south facing and enjoys a spacious terrace patio abutting the rear of the house, making an ideal alfresco dining and entertaining area.
LOCATION
Kestrel stands in a good position overlooking a horse paddock to the front that is owned by the plant nursery opposite. Old Stowmarket Road is now a ‘no through road’ and the development to the rear of Kestrel is mostly complete. The property is within short walking distance of the sought after village amenities and is just south of the A14 affording easy access to nearby Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket, Newmarket and beyond to Cambridge. It is also around 4 miles (circa 10 minutes drive), to the well-regarded Finborough private school. The village is a thriving and well-appointed community, which benefits from a primary school, village stores and post office, a doctors’ surgery, two village pubs/restaurants and lies just 8 miles to the east of Bury St Edmunds and 6 miles to the west of Stowmarket. Appealing and comprehensive facilities can be found in the fine cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds, which offers an excellent range of shopping and amenity facilities, including the Arc shopping centre, a diverse range of restaurants and the acclaimed Georgian Theatre Royal. There is excellent schooling in both the private and public sectors and a range of swimming pools, health clubs and golf clubs.
