The kitchen/dining room is comprehensively fitted with an attractive range of base and eye level units, solid wood work surfaces, integrated appliances, such as a dishwasher and space for a range cooker oven with extractor hood over, windows to the side and rear aspects, return door to the hall and access leading into the utility room, which is fitted with a work surface, single drainer sink, plumbing for appliances, fitted base and eye level cupboards and doors lead to the shower room and rear garden.

There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, four of which are double, a family bathroom and the master bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room.

OUTSIDE The Hollies is approached over a gravelled driveway capable of standing numerous vehicles, leading an oversized detached double garage with twin up and over doors (this previously had planning permission granted for conversion into an annexe, but has now lapsed).

The good sized attractive rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a terrace immediately outside the conservatory and a decked seating area at the rear.

There are many mature shrubs and trees and access from either side of the house leads to the front.

LOCATION The Hollies is located in a highly regarded area within a small hamlet on the south eastern outskirts of the village of Thurston, which itself offers a good range of local amenities including a well-regarded community college, upper school, primary school, post office stores, two public houses, parish church and railway station to mainline services.

There are more extensive cultural and amenity facilities in the medieval cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds just 5 miles west which offers an excellent range of schooling in the public and private sectors, extensive shopping facilities and a good range of leisure facilities including health clubs, swimming pools and golf clubs.
