Semi-detached house for sale in The Street, Norton, Bury St. Edmunds IP31

No Onward Chain. Deceptively spacious four bedroomed period house providing beautifully presented accommodation backing onto farmland.

Understood to have been built in the late 17th century of a timber frame construction behind a later white brick encasement and tiled roofline, this charming period house has, in more recent years, been the subject of considerable refurbishment and extension, resulting in a delightful home of great personality.

Many features on offer include exposed timbers and studwork, bespoke oak internal doors, oak staircase and large redbrick fireplaces. Benefitting from oil fired central heating, the property offers a deceptive level of light and airy accommodation with excellent proportions of just under 2000sqft and currently in brief comprising; a traditional entrance door opening to a porch with door to a spacious timbered drawing/family room with a large redbrick fireplace, two windows to front, large walk-in cupboard and door to the study/home office with window to rear.

The sitting room is a comfortable reception with wood burning stove, fine oak staircase off to first floor and open studwork to the dining room.

The generous 'farmhouse style' kitchen breakfast room affords farmland views and has plenty of fitted cupboards, wooden preparation surfaces, butler sink, Pamment tiled floor, built-in dishwasher, extractor hood, stable door to garden and space for a range oven. There is a separate utility with fitted units, hot water cylinder and door to a ground floor shower room.
