Drinkstone Park, Drinkstone, Bury St. Edmunds

Unique 4 bedroom Georgian former Coach House with fantastic range of outbuildings enjoying a wonderful private setting. All in about 1.6 acres.

This highly individual family home is set within the picturesque Drinkstone Park estate. Once part of the former Coach House to the former Drinkstone Park mansion, this unique home was converted about seventy years ago and now offers a desirable lifestyle with spacious, versatile accommodation, blending period charm with elegant proportions. Positioned in a secluded, tranquil location, screened by it's own woodland the home is approached via a private shared driveway serving just three other properties, providing a sense of exclusivity and privacy.

The accommodation offers wonderfully high ceilings throughout and includes four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all of which enjoy views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Each bedroom is fitted with wardrobes, and the largest bedroom benefits from its own shower and vanity unit. The ground floor accommodation includes three reception rooms, offering flexible living and entertaining space. The light and airy sitting room, with its rear aspect window and French doors to the rear gardens is a delightful feature. The study boasts views of the property's own woodland.

The dining room has double aspect windows and the kitchen is fitted with a range of units complemented by built in appliances and door to rear gardens. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a generous reception hall with stairs to first floor and door to a useful shower/cloakroom.

Outside - The gardens and grounds extend in all to about 1.6 acres and have been thoughtfully designed to maximise the enjoyment of the natural surroundings. The mature woodland area, located at the front of the property, spans roughly just under an acre and is home to a variety of specimen trees. In recent years, this area has been allowed to rewild, creating a haven for wildlife. The formal gardens to the rear provide a good degree of privacy and are well maintained with a mix of lawns, fruit trees, wildflower borders, formally planted borders and a raised brick bed for Alpine flowers and garden "rooms" enclosed by attractive hedging and high brick and flint walls.


The property also benefits from an array of practical outbuildings, including a workshop, potting shed, a detached barn and a double garage. The garden office is also a studio bedroom for guests. These versatile spaces provide ample storage and potential for a range of uses, from home working to hobby spaces, or even further development subject to planning permissions.

Location - The property enjoys a private, secluded setting surrounded by open countryside. The main village of Drinkstone is situated approximately 8 miles from the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds and a similar distance from Stowmarket, which has a mainline station to Liverpool Street. The A14 is about 3 miles away giving good access to the County town of Ipswich, the Port of Felixstowe and the A12, and in a westerly direction to Cambridge and London via the M11.
