Bradfield Combust | Bury St. Edmunds | Suffolk Seller’S Insight

Bradfield Combust | Bury St. Edmunds | Suffolk Seller’s Insight We originally purchased the property because coming from London and with busy lives we“ required something characterful, with good security so we could "lock-up and leave" and with easy access to local amenities. We will definitely miss the beautiful views from all directions across the estate, the large sitting room with its high ceilings and open fire. This over the years has been one our favourite rooms and with dining area in the turret offering panoramic views, it is a wonderful space and made even better with a log fire in the winter. Our favourite aspect of living in the area is the communal facilities and sense of community. Set in the beautiful grounds of Bradfield Hall Estate we are very lucky to have countryside living surrounded by many varieties of trees, lakes and sheep but have access to circular walks around the estate and amenities such as a heated swimming pool, bowls green and tennis court. Not only has this been a lovely home it was able to host our wedding reception by setting up a marquee for the guests to enjoy the jazz music, drinks and dancing. Also in the property’s history we found out the wine cellar stored the wine for the House of Lords in World War II. * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

Step Inside The impressive gravel drive meanders you through the beautiful estate before approaching the main property from the west.

Within the apartment practical, spacious and impressive single story living is arranged across approximately 1800sq.ft with high ceilings, classic decor and large original windows bathing each room in natural light. The shaker style kitchen/diner has the benefit of fitted appliances, a refrigerated pantry, AGA range cooker and three quarter double glazed French door out to the private, walled south facing terrace. Porcelain butler sink, ceramic tiled floors and granite surfaces compliment the classic and original shutters bordering that glorious view out into the grounds of the estate. The focal point of the property is the grand, dual aspect Sitting Room with dining area encircled by full height glazing with preserved traditional moulded cornice boarder the twelve foot ceilings and a marble surround feature fireplace. Beyond the Sitting Room is a useful Study with wall fixed shelving, multiple power, phone internet points with a window overlooking the approach to the property. To the left of the front door is the staircase down to the cellars. These spaces are versatile and spacious with scope for a variety of uses. At present the utility room is well appointed with washer and dryer with space for hanging laundry as well providing further storage space. A smaller cellar currently houses the boiler and hot water tank as well as the mains water softener and further shelving for storage. The Wine Cellar is a fantastic room and maintains the original shelving from when it was commandeered to store the finest wines for the House of Lords in the Second World War, though the wine has long since been removed. Three good sized double bedrooms are served by a large Heritage family bathroom with roll over bath and a separate shower room serves the third bedroom. The third bedroom is often used as a garden room in the summer months. Fully fitted wardrobes are present in each room and again stunning high ceilings combined with full height glazing and bay windows create light and practical accommodation. Step Outside The apartment benefits from the afore mentioned walled terrace and awn areas to the south of the property with access to the rest of the estate for recreation. The heated covered pool, bowls green, tennis court and gymnasium areas are receiving ongoing refurbishment but provide great recreational facilities for residents and visitors.
