Great Barton, Suffolk, IP31 2RT

A beautifully presented and extended 4-bedroom Victorian house, situated within this highly regarded village convenient for Bury St Edmunds. All in 0.45-acre.

Situated within this well-regarded village convenient for Bury St Edmunds, Chimneys is an attractive, beautifully presented and modernized period house, dating back to the 19th-century, originally part of the Bunbury Estate as cottages (once the Schoolmaster’s and the housekeepers to the boys’ school).

The house is built of traditional construction with brick-and-flint elevations under a slate tiled roofline, complemented by decorative soffits, stone moulded windows and six magnificent barley twist chimneys, decorated with the Bunbury Crest.

The accommodation extends to around 2,600sq-ft, providing versatile and well-proportioned accommodation finished to an exceptional standard throughout.

During the improvements, the present owners have refurbished the property throughout, having newly installed most windows, doors, boiler and radiators, upgraded both bathrooms and created a stunning high-specification bespoke kitchen/breakfast room.

The property comprises entrance lobby with built-in coat-cupboards and underfloor heating, leading through to a large central reception hall with slate flooring and fireplace.

The hall flows through to the sitting room, with glazed double doors to the garden and built-in cabinetry with space for wall-mounted television and fitted speaker-system – the perfect family cinema room with projector and integrated drop-down screen.

The snug benefits from two windows to the south, ceiling speakers, wood-burning stove and double doors through to a double-aspect dining/playroom with corner fireplace.

From the sitting room is access to a rear hall, recently refitted and equipped laundry/utility room with worktop, inset stainless-steel sink, along with stylish upgraded family bathroom with linen cupboard.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been beautifully created, using bespoke cabinetry, with high-quality integrated appliances to include four eye-level ovens, 5-ring induction hob with extractor, including mirrored splash back with hidden built-in TV, full-height fridge and freezer and drawer dishwasher.

There are two preparation areas, with a large expanse of preparation worktops and matching island with breakfast bar with seating, with doors to the garden.

There is further access to a cloakroom and large pantry. On the first-floor is a large landing area, 4 double bedrooms served by a high-quality upgraded bathroom.

Outside Chimneys is approached from School Road onto a sweeping gravelled driveway, leading to a detached double garage with twin set of timber doors.

To the front is a large lawned garden, bordered by recently built brick pillars with new fencing. The rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy, benefitting from a westerly orientation.

There is a large area ideal for entertaining with pergola and provision for outdoor kitchen, along with power points and lighting, leading out to a large lawned garden, a variety of mature trees and shrubs, along with a recently installed timber garden studio with power and light connected (first fix) – providing a perfect gym, artist’s studio or working office away from the family home.
