Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

A substantial 4-bedroom house with three large receptions including snooker room in an elevated half acre garden setting on the south-western outskirts of the town


The Gables stands in a fabulous half acre garden setting, at the end of a sweeping driveway (approximately 140 metres) off Hardwick Lane, which serves The Gables and two other unique individual properties. Built in the late 1990s, the design reflects local vernacular with decorative exposed beams, both internally and externally.
The Gables stands in an elevated position, and is offered to the market having undergone an extensive refurbishment and modernisation programme by the current owners. Of particular note is the beautifully refurbished kitchen, as well as the extensive ground-work that has been carried out, which has revealed not only the house, but the exceptional grounds which had become overgrown, and indeed overbearing, robbing the accommodation of natural light. This has been rectified and the house is now ready for the final cosmetic touches. Briefly it comprises:
RECEPTION HALL – generously proportioned with galleried landing over, with exposed beams and brick work.
CLOAKROOM – with exposed beams, low-level WC and wash basin.
SITTING ROOM – a triple-aspect room with exposed beams, large red brick inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam over, brick hearth and fitted wood-burning stove, four wall light points.
LOBBY – with French doors to garden.
DINING ROOM - a double-aspect room with French doors to terrace, red brick fireplace, with hearth, log store and fitted wood-burning stove, four wall light points.
SNOOKER/GAMES ROOM – an elegant room with dado rail, four wall light points, substantial wooden shelving unit and Blue Tooth WI-FI controller for the internal sound system.

KITCHEN – double-aspect room, beautifully refurbished with an extensive range of fitted wall and base kitchen units with fine detailing, Corian-style worksurface and upstand, with inset stainless-steel sink, concealed dishwasher, built-in chimney breast housing range cooker with 70/30 split twin ovens, four-ring burner gas hob, fish kettle burner, and barbeque griddle, fitted American fridge freezer with drink dispenser, and microwave. Door through to

OUTSIDE
Enclosed grounds which extend to approximately half an acre (sts) which have been cleared ready for re-landscaping. A particular feature of the property is its substantial raised south-facing terrace with a wonderful wooded outlook, providing a high degree of privacy, along with access to a detached double garage, gate, and pathways round to the side and rear of the property, where there is a further terrace within a retained red brick wall, beyond which lies a lawn bordered by a variety of specimen shrubs and trees, including two majestic oak trees.
