Hargrave, Bury St. Edmunds

MODERN COUNTRY LIVING NESTLED IN AN IDYLLIC EDGE-OF-VILLAGE RURAL SETTING WITH FAR-REACHING VIEWS ACROSS UNDULATING SUFFOLK COUNTRYSIDE

Positioned in a secluded setting, this three-bedroom home is a rarity in the rental market; with its modern build making the most of its context, place and orientation. Step through the fully glazed entrance porch into the reception hall with a symmetrical pair of double doors, opening up the space to the rest of the accommodation. The large triple aspect kitchen, with extensive wood storage cabinetry is equipped with a five-ring gas hob & newly installed oven and commands breath-taking views. There is an adjacent useful utility room with a pantry and the large triple aspect sitting room continues to draw in the picture-perfect outdoors. The well-placed sliding doors illuminate the space, complemented by the gas stove with its exposed brick bressummer being the focal point. There is the benefit of a ground floor bedroom wing with its own separate access, fitted with wardrobes, an adjacent ensuite shower room and a study / nursery. The stairs and landing are enhanced by a panoramic window that ascends to two large light-filled vaulted bedrooms – one has a south-facing balcony – each with roof lights fitted with black-out blinds, built-in wardrobes and both served by a bathroom suite. Plenty of storage and a downstairs cloakroom complete the spacious accommodation.

Approached by a gravel carriage driveway that sweeps to the capacious double garage with electric doors, Stonesthrow sits centrally within glorious grounds, elevated and surrounded by a pastoral paradise of arable fields. The manicured garden to the sides and rear is bound by a hedgerow with a pair of field gates providing separate access. There are two sun terraces one of which is all-weather.

LOCATION:

Perfectly positioned in the much-favoured village of Hargrave betwixt the fine Suffolk cathedral town of Bury St. Edmunds (seven miles) and the home of British horseracing, Newmarket (nine miles). The University City of Cambridge is easily reached via the A14 east-west major road link, which is accessed via neighbouring Risby village to facilitate commuting ease, and with the M11 providing a fast route to London. Reputable state and private schools, an eclectic range of high street and independent shops, and some the country’s finest restaurants – they include Michelin star Pea Porridge and Guide featured Maison Bleue, Bellota and Lark – are all close by. Leisure facilities can be found within a short drive as are the majestic rambling Ickworth Estate, Lackford Lakes, Cavenham Heath. The popular gastro pub Weeping Willow in neighbouring Barrow is only a stone’s throw away.
