4 bedroom detached house for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Situated in a covetable location down a quiet no-through lane, Spring Cottage is a beautifully presented and modernised period house, built of traditional timber-frame construction under a clay pantile roofline. The property has been transformed over the last two years, cleverly fusing the original fabric and characteristics with contemporary nuances and modern efficiencies, resulting in a charming family home which enjoys a large level of natural light throughout.
During the renovation programme, there has been the incorporation of a state-of-the-art air-source heating system, including underfloor heating to the ground floor, as well as high-quality double-glazed window throughout and upgraded flooring.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, extending to around 2,100ft2 which briefly comprises a large full-height reception hall and galleried landing, leading to a double aspect sitting room, with a fine exposed timber frame, inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and oak floors. Neighbouring the sitting room is a double aspect study/snug, with painted timbers and oak floors, with door to a rear lobby and ground-floor shower room, which has been stylishly refitted with tiled floors and walls, wash hand basin with floating oak shelf, walk-in shower room and low-level WC,
The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a triple aspect and doors to the garden and is extensively fitted with a range of shaker-style base units under quartz worktop with twin Belfast sink and instant boiling-water tap. There are matching larder cupboards with built-in power point for coffee machine and toasters, and integrated appliances including fridge-freezer, dishwasher and freestanding range cooker. The room is fitted with stylish oak herringbone-style tiled floors, large inglenook fireplace and further access to a side hall/utility area, with plumbing for the washing machine.
On the first floor is a spacious galleried landing, with three double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom, all served by a family bathroom. There is a large area of space, with loft access to a large loft space and airing cupboard.
Outside
The grounds of the property are of particular note, extending to around half-an-acre, and accessed from the lane onto an extensive gravelled driveway and detached garage and workshop. The grounds incorporate various areas, from attractive landscaped garden with stocked beds to an expanse of lawned areas, interspersed with mature trees and hedging, bordered by ’dog proof’ post-and-rail fencing.
The owners have creatively converted a former shipping container into a ‘party barn’ with decked terrace leading down to a sunken seating area with oak sleepers.
Location
The property is within walking distance to the village green and local
public house. The village of Tostock has frequently been voted Suffolk's Best-Kept Village and is situated approximately eight miles from the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds.
Bury St Edmunds is a unique and dazzling historic gem with a richly
fascinating heritage, the striking combination of medieval architecture, elegant Georgian squares and glorious Cathedral and Abbey Gardens provide a distinctive visual charm.
