Ixworth Road, Norton, Bury St. Edmunds

Now requiring comprehensive improvement throughout, the property offers an excellent canvas for those wishing to create a bespoke home with multi-generational living or income potential. Originally built around 50 years ago with characterful period-style features, the main house was later extended to include a spacious two-bedroom annexe.

Together, both elements provide over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation, with flexibility to configure the layout according to individual needs. Whilst the property would now benefit from full updating and modernisation, it retains well-proportioned rooms. The main sitting room is a particularly striking feature, displaying exposed timber framing, a substantial brick fireplace with exposed chimney and a semi-vaulted ceiling, a space full of charm and future promise.

A large reception hall/garden room links the main house to the annexe. The Annexe area benefits from a spacious kitchen/dining room, utility, shower room and two double bedrooms. 

GROUND FLOOR - Main House  

FAMILY ROOM - 4.83m x 3.63m (15'10 x 11'11) Located at the front of the property, this reception room offers a square layout suitable for use as an additional sitting room or informal living space. Font aspect provides natural light to the room. The space is currently in dated decorative order and would benefit from general modernisation. 

DINING ROOM - 4.80m x 3.61m (15'9 x 11'10) Positioned adjacent to the family room, this well-proportioned room provides space for a large dining table. A front-facing window overlooks the garden area. 

KITCHEN - 3.56m x 2.39m (11'8 x 7'10) A compact kitchen fitted with wall and base units under work surfaces, positioned to the rear of the house. There is space for freestanding appliance.

The layout may lend itself to reconfiguration or enlargement, subject to requirements.

SITTING ROOM- 4.83m x 3.63m (15'10 x 11'11) A notable impressive feature of the house, the sitting room displays a wealth of exposed timbers and studwork, a large brick fireplace with exposed chimney, and a semi-vaulted ceiling. Double doors opening through to the garden room. 

RECEPTION HALL/GARDEN ROOM- 4.11m x 3.00m (13'6 x 9'10) A linking space between the main house and annexe, featuring double doors opening to the rear garden. This area could serve as a secondary reception space or garden room. 

GROUND FLOOR ANNEXE:  

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM- 4.90m x 4.47m (16'1 x 14'8) A generously sized kitchen/dining space forming the central hub of the annexe. Fitted with an older range of cabinetry and worktops, the room offers ample space for dining furniture. The décor is functional but would now benefit from updating.

Outside The property is approached via a private shared lane, with the front garden set behind established hedging. There is ample off-road parking and access to a detached garage. It is fair to say that the gardens have now been left largely to nature and would reward extensive restoration. For those with vision, the setting offers great potential to recreate generous family-friendly outdoor space.
