Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk

This remarkable Grade II Listed period house, originating from the 17th century, is complemented by a substantial barn and versatile studio/home office. Nestled within beautifully established gardens, this property offers extensive parking and a unique opportunity for flexible living arrangements. The house, believed to have been remodelled during the Victorian era by a notable baronet, showcases a wealth of character through its attractive gabled windows, traditional Suffolk flintwork, exposed timbers, period fireplaces, and parquet flooring. Notably, the central room was once a dairy, while various architectural details, including bannisters sourced from Hardwick House, add to its charm. The accommodation is adaptable, currently allowing for use as two separate dwellings or as a spacious family home. While the interiors and outbuildings would benefit from some updating, this presents an excellent opportunity to modernise while preserving the property’s original character. Set in approximately 0.64 acres, the property features an arched solid oak door leading to an inviting entrance hall with fitted barrier matting and parquet flooring. The drawing room offers lovely views over the garden and fields beyond, complemented by exposed ceiling timbers and an open fireplace with a log-burning stove.
