Bury St. Edmunds

A substantial renovated and extended family house, set back in mature established grounds of 1-acre, including swimming pool, outbuildings and garden studio/games room.

Situated on the southern fringes of Bury St Edmunds, 93 Sicklesmere Road is a substantial family house, originally dating back to the early 1930s, being built of traditional construction with rendered elevations under a pan-tiled roofline.

The property has been subject to a total renovation and extension programme in the last 10 years, cleverly fusing the original characteristics with contemporary nuances and a superb arrangement of beautifully presented accommodation, against a stunning backdrop of established gardens. Within the programme of works, the house was totally updated with new plumbing, wiring, replastered walls and ceilings, new doors, flooring and kitchen and bathrooms.

The living space is arranged over two floors, extending to around 2,600ft2 with generous proportions and versatile living space, comprising large reception hall with solid oak front door with glazed panels, tiled floors and cloakroom. The sitting room has window to the south, fireplace housing an open fire on marble hearth with glazed doors to the garden room. The dining room has a fireplace, and bay to the south and window to the east.
