Queensway, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, IP28

A charming four-bedroom period home, blending original character with modern improvements. Featuring exposed beams, a bespoke staircase, newly fitted kitchen and generous 0.2-acre plot, plus an attached garage/workshop with further potential to extend (subject to planning).

Believed to date back to the early 1800s, this beautifully presented semi-detached period home combines timeless character with a layout designed for modern family living. The current owners have sympathetically enhanced the property, including a newly fitted kitchen and reconfigured internal layout whilst carefully retaining the features that make the home so special.

Exposed timber beams, solid wood flooring and a stunning bespoke wooden staircase provide a real sense of character throughout, creating a home that stands apart from more conventional properties. Offering four bedrooms and versatile living accommodation, the property is perfectly suited to growing families and those seeking a unique home with space and personality.

The reception and living rooms have been comprehensively renovated, including modern damp-proofing, new walls and plastering using high-specification and sympathetic materials, complete underfloor insulation and new screeding, together with the installation of a French drain and soakaway to the rear to help keep the property warm, dry and well protected. New radiators have also been fitted throughout the entire ground floor. Bedroom Two has undergone a further extensive refurbishment, with the original features carefully exposed and enhanced, traditional yet modern materials used throughout and improvements made to the room’s thermal performance. Externally, the property also benefits from a historic outbuilding comprising a wood store and separate storage area, built at the same time as the main house and providing useful additional storage.

Outside, the mature gardens extend to approximately 0.20 acres (STS), complemented by an attached garage/workshop with further scope to create additional accommodation above, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Ideally positioned within easy reach of Mildenhall town centre, local schools and the popular Mildenhall Hub, the property enjoys a convenient location whilst retaining the charm and individuality of a period residence.

Homes of this nature rarely become available, combining original period features, thoughtful modern improvements and genuine future potential. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
