Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

A substantial and versatile family house extending to over 4,000sq-ft with garden office/workshop, tucked away within this well-regarded location on the fringes of the town.

Situated in a small close tucked back from the road, Westbank House is a substantial modern house, having been totally remodelled and extended to provide versatile accommodation that extends to well over 4,000ft2.

The stylish and well-presented rooms cleverly blend contemporary spaces with high-quality craftsmanship, graced with a high degree of natural light from large sliding doors and an incredible garden/day room which fuses the property to a well-planned and cohesive designed home.

The accommodation comprises reception hall with hardwood and glazed feature staircase and cloakroom, with access to a snug/office with bay window to the front. The main body of living space is formed together from the kitchen/breakfast/garden room, with the kitchen being fitted with a high-quality range of base units with matching island, hardwood worktop with inset sink and integrated NEFF induction hob and electric oven.

There are two double bedrooms with Jack-and-Jill en suite comprising tiled shower, wash hand basin and low-level WC. To the front is a large study/office with neighbouring cloakroom.
