Thurston, Suffolk

A modern stylish house combining generous accommodation with superb entertaining space, large garden and studio, situated on the far edge of this well-served village.

2 Rooks Mead is an impressive, detached house occupying a discreet position within a small close of just three individual homes on the fringes of the well-served village of Thurston. Built in 2022 by highly regarded local builders, the property has subsequently been beautifully presented and offers a successful combination of contemporary architecture, generous proportions and a warm, characterful interior. Village amenities are conveniently placed approximately a 15-minute walk away.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged, extending to around 2,300sq-ft, around an excellent panelled central entrance hall, from which there is access to a comfortable sitting room with wood-burning stove and the outstanding kitchen/dining room.

Extending to over 26ft, the kitchen is very much the heart of the house, with a substantial central island with breakfast bar, beautifully equipped handmade fitted cabinetry with integrated dishwasher, range cooker, fridge, freezer and microwave.

The kitchen opens naturally into a superb garden/family room, where a large rooflight and extensive glazing create a wonderfully light space with a strong connection to the garden. The overall arrangement works particularly well, providing a sequence of sociable spaces while retaining clearly defined areas for cooking, eating and relaxing.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with a separate utility room, cloakroom, useful store and an integral garage completing the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the generous landing serves four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed roof timbers and doors opening onto a Juliet-style balcony overlooking the garden. It is complemented by an en suite bathroom, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a well-appointed luxurious family bathroom.

Outside
The house is approached from the shared driveway to parking for two cars, leading to the integral garage. To the rear is an especially attractive landscaped garden, designed with both entertaining and family life in mind.

A broad contemporary terrace immediately adjoining the house provides an excellent outdoor seating and dining area, including a covered section, before giving way to lawn, structured planting and pathways. A substantial ‘garden studio’ provides useful additional space and is presently arranged as a home gym, although it could readily suit a studio, office or hobby room.

Location
Rooks Mead is located on the eastern fringes of Thurston, a popular and well-connected village approximately five miles east of Bury St Edmunds. The village offers a strong sense of community alongside a range of everyday amenities including shops, schooling, a railway station and recreational facilities. Bury St Edmunds itself remains one of Suffolk’s most attractive market towns, known for its historic architecture, Georgian squares and the Cathedral and Abbey Gardens. The town provides an excellent range of independent and national retailers, restaurants and cultural amenities, and is well placed for access to Cambridge, Ipswich and London.
