THE PROPERTY
A very well presented and improved detached family house standing in a mature, tucked away location along a private drive shared with just two other properties. Bay Tree Lodge is believed to have been built about 15 years ago and presents weather boarded elevations under a pantile roof. Boasting over 2,000 sq ft of generously proportioned family orientated accommodation, it has been improved by the current vendors over the last few years to include a new fitted kitchen. The large reception hall features the elegant easy rising stairs to the first floor with a cupboard and recessed area under and doors lead to the ground floor accommodation with a large sitting room featuring a stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove and has a large recessed bay area with double doors leading to the garden. Solid wood and glazed bi-folding doors open into a fabulous dining/day room, which is glazed to the rear and side aspects and double doors lead to the gardens. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of base and eye level units, work surfaces, integrated appliances, such as a dishwasher, a Rangemaster 110 cooker with a stainless-steel Belling extractor over. The utility room is fitted with a stainless steel sink with base and eye level cupboards and space under, two-tier cupboard, plumbing for automatic appliances and a built-in cupboard housing the water softener. Doors lead to the side aspect, the dining/day room and a cloakroom. On the first floor a large landing area leads to three double bedrooms with the master suite featuring a large window to the side aspect, a range of fitted wardrobes, built-in double wardrobes and a dressing room, which leads to an en-suite. Bedroom two has a bay window to the front aspect, a side window and a Velux to the rear and also enjoys an en-suite. Bedroom three has a window to the front aspect, a Velux window to the rear and two built-in double wardrobes/cupboards. There is also a family bathroom

OUTSIDE
Bay Tree Lodge is approached over a private driveway shared with just two other properties and leads to a block paved driveway providing parking and leads to a double cartlodge garage with electric roller door and has two integrated store rooms to the side. There are gardens to the rear and side being predominantly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature trees and plants and has large terraced areas abutting the rear and side of the house offering ideal alfresco dining areas. The walled and fenced gardens predominantly face south-west and enjoy a high degree of privacy.

LOCATION
Standing in a tucked away location within the village, Bay Tree Lodge is situated a short distance from the range of local amenities, which include a well-regarded community college/upper school, primary school, post office stores, two public houses, parish church, fish and chip shop, Co-op stores and a railway station to mainline services. There are more extensive facilities in the medieval cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds just 5 miles west, which offers an excellent range of schooling in the public and private sectors, extensive shopping facilities and a good range of leisure facilities including health clubs, swimming pools and golf clubs. For the road commuter there is very easy access to the A14 leading east to the ports of Felixstowe and Harwich and the county town of Ipswich and west to Cambridge via the A11 (M11) to Stansted International Airport and onto the M25 leading to the capital. Mainline train services also from Stowmarket to London Liverpool Street taking approximately 80 minutes.
