Bures, Sudbury, Suffolk

Situated within the highly regarded village of Bures, this attractive three-bedroom link-detached family home offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented property which has undergone an extensive programme of improvements since 2024, creating a beautifully updated home that combines contemporary style with modern comfort. From the installation of new windows and doors throughout, a new boiler and radiators, and a complete electrical rewire, to the addition of a stylish new kitchen, updated bathrooms and new flooring, considerable care and investment have gone into enhancing the property. The result is a home that is ready to move into, with the benefit of many of the major improvements already taken care of.

The property is particularly well suited to modern family life and benefits from a bespoke German-designed kitchen/dining room, a light-filled sitting room with bi-folding doors opening onto the rear garden, and a cleverly converted garage providing additional utility, shower and storage facilities. Further benefits include established front and rear gardens, off-road parking and an appealing position within this popular Stour Valley village.

The accommodation is approached via a composite entrance door with glazed panels, opening into a welcoming reception hallway featuring a newly fitted storage unit, two additional storage cupboards and a staircase rising to the first floor. The principal reception room is a particularly attractive space, enjoying excellent levels of natural light through double-glazed windows and bi-folding doors opening directly onto the established rear gardens. This creates a delightful connection between the internal accommodation and outdoor entertaining areas, making the room equally suited to everyday family living and more formal occasions.

Of note is the impressive German-designed kitchen/dining room, which has been comprehensively appointed with an extensive range of contemporary fitted cabinetry, complemented by elegant quartz work surfaces. The kitchen incorporates an induction hob, an inset stainless-steel butler-style sink with mixer tap, integrated cabinet lighting and a dedicated microwave provision. An illuminated display unit with power adds a further distinctive feature, whilst the generous storage provision and carefully considered layout combine to create an exceptionally practical and visually appealing environment.

The former garage has been thoughtfully converted to provide a useful utility room with space for a washing machine, fridge and fridge-freezer, together with the gas-fired boiler. This area also provides access to a well-appointed ground-floor shower room comprising a separately screened shower enclosure, low-level WC and wash hand basin with mixer tap. Additional storage has been retained within the front section of the former garage, further enhancing the versatility and practicality of the accommodation.

To the first floor, a light and airy landing enjoys a window to the front elevation and provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom offers comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation, whilst the second bedroom enjoys an attractive outlook across the established rear gardens and provides access to the loft. The third bedroom is a single room with a double-glazed window to the front elevation and offers flexibility for use as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office. The accommodation is completed by a stylish family bathroom, featuring a Jacuzzi bath with integrated lighting, shower facilities and a contemporary vanity unit. An obscure-glazed window to the side elevation provides natural light whilst maintaining privacy.

Externally, the property is complemented by attractive and well-established gardens to both the front and rear. The front garden is thoughtfully planted with an assortment of mature trees, shrubs and established borders, creating an appealing approach to the property, together with the benefit of off-road parking. Gated pedestrian access leads to the rear garden, which provides a pleasant and private-feeling outdoor environment, principally laid to lawn with a paved terrace ideally suited to al fresco dining and entertaining. Mature planting provides seasonal interest, whilst panel fencing forms the boundaries. A useful timber storage shed provides additional space for garden equipment and general storage.
