About
A beautifully presented five-bedroom modern house with double garage and outside entertaining room, situated within this well-served village close to Bury St Edmunds.
The much-improved accommodation extends to approximately 2,100 sq ft and currently, in brief, comprises a reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor, under-stairs cupboards, and a door to the study, which includes a built-in workstation and window to the front.
The sitting room is a comfortable reception space for relaxing, and across the rear of the property is the stunning open-plan modern kitchen/dining area.
This is fitted with a wide range of matching painted Shaker-style kitchen units and complemented by quartz worktops.
Features include a five-ring gas hob with extractor above, built-in double oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, wine chiller, hot tap, water softener, and a double-doored corner larder cupboard, to highlight just a few.
Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room with sink, additional storage, and plumbing/space for a washing machine, along with access to the rear. Adjacent is a cloakroom.
From the first-floor landing is the large dual-aspect principal bedroom with a range of built-in sliding-door wardrobe cupboards, as well as a separate dressing room with large walk-in storage cupboard.
Completing the suite is the spacious, fully tiled en-suite with multifunctional bath/shower, multi-jet spa bath, and steam settings.
The second bedroom suite features built-in sliding, mirror-fronted wardrobes and a fully tiled en-suite shower room with quadrant shower.
Three further bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes with shelves and hanging rails, plus a fully tiled family bathroom with double-ended bath, complete the first-floor accommodation.
Outside - To the front of the property is a hard landscaped garden adjacent to the driveway allowing for parking for multiple vehicles, whilst giving access to the double garage.
To the rear through the large sliding doors in the kitchen/dining area is a terrace across the back with tiled steps up to a middle terrace and further to composite entertaining deck, on the edge of which is an enclosed kitchen/dining area with worktops and storage, all of which is a suntrap due to its aspect.
Completing the garden are artificially turfed areas for ease of maintenance and well-established borders. The rear garden also offers a high degree of privacy.
