Green Close, Drinkstone, IP30 9TE

SITUATION & LOCATION Situated in a small cul-de-sac, this detached chalet style property occupies a pleasant position standing in mature gardens and offers good sized versatile accommodation over two floors.

Originally built in the 1960's, the property has been substantially extended and improved over the years and now offers an excellent opportunity to those purchasers seeking a family size home or a home to retire to with a ground floor bedroom and shower room.

This may also appeal to buyers seeking a multi-generational opportunity. Many of these improvements have been carried out in the last thirty years by the current vendor.

In addition to the spacious living room and dining area, there is a large reception room used by the vendor as a music room.

The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room has a utility room off and to the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.

The property benefits from UPVC double glazing throughout as well as oil fired central heating.

Although the original attached garage has since been converted, a brick paved driveway provides good parking and withing the established garden is a substantial workshop and store.

Situated within easy reach of Bury St Edmunds with excellent regional transport links, the tranquil Suffolk village of Drinkstone is surrounded by unspoilt countryside, making it one of Suffolk's most desirable village settings.

Drinkstone retains a strong sense of community, centred around the War Memorial Village Hall, which hosts a range of social events, clubs and activities throughout the year.

The village also benefits from a recreation ground and children's play area, allotments, and an active parish church.

While the village itself has no shops or public houses, excellent day-to-day amenities are close at hand.

The nearby village of Woolpit, approximately 2 miles away, offers a convenience store, pharmacy, GP surgery, bakery, hairdressers, café, petrol station and primary school.

A wider range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities can be found in Bury St Edmunds, a historic market town with independent boutiques, restaurants, theatres and supermarkets.

Drinkstone is a classically rural Suffolk village, rich in history and community spirit, yet well positioned for modern living.

With excellent access to schooling, walking, hacking out and countryside views, nearby market towns and key transport routes, it offers a highly desirable lifestyle for families, professionals and downsizers alike who value space, heritage and tranquillity.
