Description

This distinctive 4-bedroom Georgian former Coach House presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled within approximately 1.6 acres of private grounds in the serene Drinkstone Park estate, this property offers excellent potential to modernize or expand while retaining its historical charm. Originally part of a grand mansion, the house was converted around seventy years ago and features spacious accommodation characterized by high ceilings and versatile living spaces that can be tailored to suit contemporary lifestyles. The interior comprises four well-sized double bedrooms, each with scenic views of the gardens and surrounding countryside, alongside three reception rooms providing flexibility for family living and entertaining. The ground floor includes a welcoming reception hall, a practical kitchen with fitted units and appliances, a light-filled sitting room leading to the rear gardens via French doors, and a study overlooking the property's woodland. Outside, the extensive gardens are designed to blend with nature and currently contain areas of rewilding that support local wildlife. The well-maintained formal gardens enhance privacy with various plantings including fruit trees, wildflower borders, brick beds, and more. Additionally, the presence of substantial outbuildings—a workshop, potting shed, detached barn, double garage, and a multipurpose garden office—offers promising scope for further development or conversion into guest accommodations or home offices (subject to planning permissions). With easy access to Bury St Edmunds and transport links towards Cambridge via the A14, this property not only offers a unique residential experience but also considerable investment potential in an increasingly desirable area.
