11 Beeches Road, Bury St. Edmunds, IP28 8NP

Believed to date from before 1900, this charming detached residence began life as a traditional cottage and has since been substantially extended and thoughtfully adapted to create an exceptionally versatile home of considerable character.

Today the property comprises two separate dwellings arranged within one building, each benefiting from its own utilities and council tax band, together with a modern studio-style annexe situated off the driveway.

This rare configuration offers outstanding potential for multi-generational living, independent guest accommodation or supplementary income, while also allowing the accommodation to be combined into one substantial residence if desired, subject to any necessary consents.

Rich in character throughout, the original cottage retains many of its period features, including exposed timbers and traditional fireplaces, which combine with later additions to create a property that is both distinctive and highly flexible.

Main House A part-frosted double-glazed entrance door opens into the entrance hall, from which doors lead through to the principal reception rooms.

The living room is a particularly welcoming and characterful space, with two double-glazed windows to the front aspect allowing natural light to fill the room.

Exposed ceiling timbers enhance the cottage charm, while two decorative fireplaces positioned to either side and a log-burning stove create an attractive focal point and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

A small step leads up to an inner hallway which provides access to a study and utility room, whilst also opening through to the kitchen.

The utility room is fitted with tiled flooring and a range of base units with work surfaces, providing space for appliances, together with a double-glazed window to the side aspect.

A door leads through to a cloakroom fitted with a low-level WC and wash hand basin.

The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views over the rear garden via a double-glazed window and glazed door providing direct access outside.

The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with work surfaces over, incorporating a sink and drainer, four-ring hob and double high-level oven, together with integrated appliances and an oil-fired boiler.

From the kitchen, a doorway leads through to the dining room, providing a generous and sociable space for family dining and entertaining.

A brick-built fireplace forms an attractive focal point, while a double-glazed window overlooks the rear garden.

A small inner hallway from the dining room provides stairs rising to the upper level and a stable door opening into the sitting room.

Positioned to the front of the property, this bright and comfortable reception room benefits from double-glazed windows to the front aspect, creating a pleasant and relaxing space.

The upper level of the main house provides well-proportioned bedrooms together with a particularly spacious family bathroom fitted with a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, low-level WC and twin wash hand basins with storage below.

A double airing cupboard provides additional storage.

Second Dwelling Positioned to the rear of the original cottage, the second residence forms a self-contained home that can either remain independent or be incorporated into the main house if required.

Accessed from the rear garden, an entrance lobby provides access to a cloakroom and leads into a spacious kitchen/dining room which forms the central hub of this accommodation.

Offering ample room for both cooking and dining, the space provides a practical yet sociable environment for everyday living.

From here, an inner hallway provides stairs rising to the upper level and access to a cosy living room, where a fireplace creates an attractive focal point and a comfortable setting for relaxation.

The upper level provides two well-proportioned bedrooms with a four-piece bathroom suite positioned between them.

The front bedroom connects to the first house via a small step, providing the flexibility to either maintain the two homes as separate dwellings or combine the accommodation into one larger residence depending on individual requirements.

Annexe Accommodation A driveway provides access to a converted garage which has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern studio-style annexe.

The accommodation offers open-plan living space incorporating a contemporary fitted kitchen area together with a stylish shower room, creating comfortable and fully self-contained accommodation.

The annexe has previously been successfully utilised as short-term holiday accommodation, demonstrating its potential for guest stays or supplementary income, subject to any necessary consents.

Alternatively, it could provide ideal accommodation for a family member, a home office or additional flexible living space. EPC Rating: D
