Outside - The property is approached over a gravelled drive that leads up to the spacious parking and turning area and the front of the detached double garage.
The gardens are a particular feature and a haven for wildlife. Expansive lawns are interspersed and bordered by mature trees and shrubs creating a good degree of privacy whist backing onto open countryside. There is a pond, green house and summer house and the grounds in all extend to approximately 1 acre (s.t.s).
Location - The house is well-positioned in this peaceful semi-rural setting in a small cluster of beautiful homes and backing onto rolling countryside with views to the rear. Standing on the outskirts Woolpit, within walking distance of the amenities, just south of the A14, it has easy access to nearby Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and beyond to Cambridge. 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/restaurant 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.
