Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk

A opportunity to purchase a substantial family home set in 0.5 of an acre in this sought-after address - No onward chain

Occupying a mature plot, extending to approximately half an acre, 9 Stonebridge Avenue presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home in one of Bury St Edmunds' most sought-after locations. Ideally positioned within a short walk of the historic town centre, its excellent amenities and the West Suffolk Hospital, the property combines an exceptional setting with enormous potential.

Although the property would now benefit from a programme of updating and offers exciting scope for extension or remodelling (subject to any necessary consents), it has been exceptionally well maintained and is perfectly suited for immediate occupation. It is also offered with the significant advantage of no onward chain.

A tiled covered entrance porch leads into an impressive central reception hall featuring attractive parquet flooring, a staircase rising to the first-floor, a double-door coats cupboard and access to the principal ground-floor accommodation.

The generously proportioned sitting room enjoys French doors with glazed side panels opening onto the garden, together with an extensive range of fitted shelving and storage units. A decorative timber fireplace with marble inset and hearth houses a gas coal-effect fire, creating an attractive focal point.

To the rear of the property, the separate dining room enjoys a pleasant bow window and direct access to the rear terrace and garden. A traditional serving hatch connects conveniently with the kitchen.

The spacious double-aspect study provides an ideal home office and has been thoughtfully extended to create a dedicated library area complete with fitted bookshelves and storage cupboards beneath.
The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of coloured shaker-style units with timber handles and incorporates an integrated fridge/freezer, double Neff ovens, integrated dishwasher, one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and inset hob with extractor hood above, all complemented by tiled splashbacks. A particularly useful walk-in larder provides extensive shelving together with housing for the water softener.

A side door leads to a covered passageway giving access to both the front and rear gardens, the attached garage and two useful external storage cupboards. Completing the ground-floor is a generously sized cloakroom with tiled flooring, WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

The light and spacious first-floor landing incorporates an airing cupboard and leads to the bedroom accommodation.
The impressive principal bedroom overlooks the beautiful rear gardens and benefits from a substantial walk-in dressing room, fitted with an extensive range of wardrobes and drawer units. The adjoining Jack-and-Jill bathroom can serve as an en-suite if desired and is extensively tiled, comprising a panelled bath with central mixer taps, vanity wash basin with storage beneath, concealed cistern WC and a large walk-in shower with glazed sliding door and adjustable shower.

There are three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a useful linen cupboard. These are served by a separate shower room fitted with a corner glazed shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin and WC.


Outside
A block-paved driveway provides extensive off-road parking and access to the attached single garage with electric up and over door, whilst pathways on both sides of the property lead to the rear garden. The front garden has been designed for ease of maintenance with an attractive lawn, mature shrub borders and established hedging providing excellent screening.

To the rear, the property enjoys a superb south-facing garden extending to approximately half an acre, providing an exceptional degree of privacy and maturity.

Immediately adjoining the house is a generous paved terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Steps descend to a beautifully maintained lawn bordered by mature hedging and colourful planted borders, all centred around an impressive mature walnut tree.
Beyond the formal garden lies a delightful woodland walk meandering through a coppice of mature mixed trees, creating a wonderfully peaceful natural setting. This area also incorporates a substantial garden machinery store, together with a variety of specimen fruit trees including apple, pear and fig, whilst a magnificent mature mulberry tree provides an additional feature and productive harvest.

To one side of the garden, behind the garage, are a useful garden storage shed and a Rhino greenhouse which is available by separate negotiation.
