LOCATION The Vicarage is located on St. Marys Square, a highly regarded part of Bury St. Edmunds. The house is steeped in history and well placed for amenities and the train station in one direction and countryside walks in the other. The A14 trunk road bypasses the town and in turn affords quick access to the East coast (approximately 40 minutes) in one direction and in the other Cambridge (about 35 minutes) and Stansted Airport (about 50 minutes). Bury St. Edmunds offers a comprehensive range of amenities and schooling for all ages. Local private schools of particular note are Culford (4 miles) and Old Buckenham, Brettenham (13 miles).
THE PROPERTY This former Vicarage was first featured in the rate books for the first time in 1804, probably by Francis Sandys to whom the house belonged until at least 1816. The house has a striking façade with a central doorway that includes a rectangular fan light and a Tuscan porch with plain columns either side. This elegant 3-storey property includes particularly impressive sash windows and an equally attractive rear elevation that has a large bay window off the principal reception room. The accommodation extends to over 6,000 sq.ft. and offers considerable versatility that would suit a range of different lifestyles. The property is well presented throughout and has been subject to much improvement by the current owners with an attention to detail that has ensured the period features are retained throughout. There are lovely views to the rear over the gardens, rooftops and countryside beyond. The cellar offers additional versatility which would suit those with a passion for wine. A large drive provides extensive off-road parking and in turn leads to a garage. The garden is one of the property's most attractive features, generous in size, walled and enjoying sun throughout the day.
