Description

A much-improved five-bedroom detached home offering beautifully presented accommodation with a modern twist, positioned within one of the area’s most well-served and highly regarded villages.

Built approximately 35 years ago and significantly enhanced within the last two years, this impressive property provides a generous level of stylish, contemporary accommodation. Highlights include a superbly re-designed kitchen/dining room, high-quality finishes throughout, and striking Bi-Fold doors opening onto the rear garden and newly created terrace. Sitting within a plot of approximately 1/6 acre (STSS), the home enjoys well-proportioned rooms, extensive parking, a double garage, and mature private gardens.

Benefiting from gas-fired radiator central heating, double glazing, and a recently fitted water softener, the accommodation briefly comprises: an inviting entrance hall with staircase to the first floor, which also leads to a delightful library/reading area. From the hall, doors lead to the cloakroom and study.

The spacious dual-aspect sitting room features a central fireplace, Bi-Fold doors to the rear garden, and further double doors that connect to the newly remodelled and exceptionally well-equipped kitchen/dining room. This stunning space includes a wide range of contemporary units, generous drawer and cupboard storage, integrated appliances, and a large island. Additional Bi-Fold doors open to the rear terrace, with French doors to the side, creating excellent flow for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate utility room offers further fitted cupboards, a sink, access to a walk-in pantry/storage area, and a door to the adjoining double garage.

Upstairs, a spacious landing with airing cupboard leads to five bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a newly re-fitted modern family bathroom completed to a high standard.

Outside - The property is approached via a shingle driveway offering parking for 5–6 vehicles, along with access to the double garage. The gardens are a key feature—mainly laid to lawn and richly stocked with mature shrubs, flowering plants, and trees. While a large newly laid terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Additionally, a separate allotment area sits within the garden, complete with a new shed and firewood store.

Location - The house enjoys a desirable position within walking distance of the excellent range of amenities Ixworth has to offer, including two popular pubs, St Mary’s Church, a Methodist church, doctor’s surgery, village store, Chinese takeaway, fish and chip shop, and a weekly mobile post office. Notably, the property is within walking distance of two highly rated Ofsted schools (primary and secondary).

Ixworth also benefits from a village hall with a library and community activities such as yoga, badminton, cinema events, and various clubs. The village offers additional recreational facilities including a playing field with children’s play area, an excellent Bowls Club, Brownies and Army Cadets, an Angling Club, and picturesque countryside walks along the River Blackbourn.

This well-served village lies approximately 7 miles from Bury St Edmunds and 15 miles from Stowmarket, which provides a mainline rail link to London.
