High Green, Nowton, Bury St. Edmunds Guide price £375,000

Occupying a quite exceptional setting in the village of Nowton, this former Almshouse is understood to date back to 1877 and is really quite a find.

Offering many original features, immense character and huge potential, the property has a lovely 'feel' and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Surrounded by open countryside, yet within around 3 miles of Bury St Edmunds, the location perfectly balances rural living with everyday convenience.

Set within large established gardens (around 0.33 of an acre subject to survey) which include an area of woodland, along with ample parking, this is very much a one-off opportunity as properties of this nature, in such a setting, rarely come to the market.

The property offers characterful accommodation arranged over two floors and, in more detail, comprises:

On the ground floor, an impressive reception hall with original solid wood door sets the tone for the rest of the house and provides a wonderful first impression. From here, the sitting room is a really comfortable room and includes a wood-burning stove, ideal for cosy evenings.

The kitchen is another lovely, well-proportioned room and includes plenty of space for a dining table. Fitted with an extensive range of units, worktop surfaces and appliance space, the kitchen enjoys views over the rear gardens and farmland beyond. Finally, on the ground floor is the family bathroom

The hallway has a further door to the outside and features the impressive original staircase with a cupboard under.

On the first floor:

The first floor includes a landing area which gives access to two good-sized bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks over the surrounding gardens. There is also a second bathroom/ensuite leading off bedroom 2, making the layout practical as well as flexible.

Outside:
The gardens are generous in size (around 0.33 of an acre sts) and include an area of woodland, creating a lovely sense of seclusion and connection with nature. There is extensive parking, along with plenty of room for those keen on gardening, outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the setting.

In our opinion, there is the opportunity for the property to be extended or for the land to be used for various outbuildings - subject, of course, to any necessary permissions being obtained. Overall, this is a unique home offering charm, history and potential in equal measure.

Note: There is pedestrian access for the next-door neighbour should they need to access their rear garden, although we understand the use of this gate is rare.
