THE PROPERTY
5 Glebe Close is a well presented and maintained, detached four-bedroom single storey home, affording excellent scope and versatility, as it was originally planned to be built as two semi-detached properties, but which the builder chose to retain as a single dwelling. It is set in gorgeous grounds of around 0.4 acres (sts), standing in a tucked away location within this favoured Suffolk village, well located close to Bury St Edmunds. The property presents brick elevations under a tiled roof and provides comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation. Due to the size and space in the loft, there could also be good potential to convert the space to add a first floor to the accommodation, if required and subject to any necessary consents. The current accommodation affords double glazed windows and oil-fired central heating, but will be considered to be dated by many and hence affords a buyer the opportunity and scope to modernise the property to their own taste. In brief, the accommodation comprises an entrance door leading from the storm porch to the front, into the luxury vinyl tiled hallway, off which all the main rooms of the property open. The sitting room benefits from a bay window, giving lovely views of the rear garden and the character of a fireplace with brick surround and hearth with fitted log burning stove. The dining room opens from the hall with glazed double doors and out to the rear garden, again through glazed double doors making this ideal for entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of base and wall mounted vintage Winchmore Furniture kitchen units with rolled top worksurfaces, stainless steel sink unit, inset Miele electric hob cooker with extractor hood above and built-in double Miele electric ovens and warming draw. There is also space in the kitchen for an under counter larder fridge and plumbing for a dish washer. The cupboards off the breakfast area afford space for an upright fridge/freezer and there is an airing cupboard housing a hot water tank. The utility room opens off the breakfast area affording further worktop space, wall mounted cupboards and low-level space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer with part glazed door to the side passage. Off the hall there is a study/music room that could also be used as a bedroom if required, along with the family bathroom which presents a panel enclosed bath, vanity wash basin unit, low flush wc and bidet, with luxury tiled floor and ½ tiled walls. There are four dedicated bedrooms all benefiting from wardrobe cupboards and also a family shower room which has a large ‘oversized’ shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin and low flush wc. The walls are fully tiled and there is an obscure glazed window to the front. Finally, there is the spacious office, which is fitted with desks, shelving and also houses the floor mounted oil-fired boiler, with a door off to the side hall (allowing access from the 2nd drive, without the need to come through the house) and the cloakroom wc. This space is superb for those looking to work from home or could, with the inclusion of the master bedroom, easily be re-purposed as an integrated annexe, ideal for extended family living.

OUTSIDE
The front garden is level out to the low retaining wall which fronts the pavement and road to the front, with the main driveway to the right giving access to the single garage and front porch, with the second drive and parking area to the left side boundary. The garden is laid to lawn with shrub, path and flower borders with some lovely specimen trees and a view over the neighbouring horse paddock to the side. The garage affords an up and over vehicular door to the front with personal doors to both sides and a door to the rear leading to the workshop /hobby room which is fitted with work bench and store cupboards and has a log burning stove in the corner. There is a lean too covered work and store area to the side of the garage workshop with gates to the front and rear. There is also a detached brick-built garden store/ potting shed which could easily be converted into an office building if the current one is repurposed. The rear garden is a significant asset to the property being very private, beautifully laid out and maintained with lawn, shrub and flower borders, a small orchard area and a wonderful established fruit cage and green house area with raised beds and pathways. The block paved terrace extends across the back of the property with a further raised pond and terrace to the side. There is also a noteworthy beautiful specimen walnut tree.

LOCATION
The property stands in a most pleasant tucked away position at the end of a cul-de-sac, within this picturesque and sought-after village, which as well as the National Trusts’ Ickworth House, also benefits from a very well-regarded primary school and two pubs. The village is a short distance from the historic cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds, which provides a full range of schooling, recreational and shopping facilities, including the Arc Shopping Centre. The property is well located for road communications with easy access to the A14, A11(M11) and for the rail commuter there is a fast and regular service to London’s Kings Cross from Cambridge taking approximately 60 minutes and from Stowmarket to London’s Liverpool Street Station which takes approximately 85 minutes.
