Seller’s Insight

* These comments are the personal views of the

current owner and are included as an insight into life

at the property. They have not been independently

verified, should not be relied on without verification

and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent.

We originally purchased Keepers

Cottage for the wonderful field views and

close proximity to Bury St Edmunds. We

will most definitely miss being in these

beautiful surroundings, the garden, and

all the countryside walks. The reading

room is one of our favourite rooms, and

also the snug, with the wood burner

which makes winter evenings warm and

cosy. Since purchasing the property we

have done quite a lot of improvements,

including a new bathroom, and opening

up the kitchen which has provided us

with a fantastic space to cook and

entertain in. It is a super family home in

such a great location, with easy access to

the A14 and the fantastic market town

of Bury S Edmunds.

Step Inside

This home offers a wealth of family accommodation. You know you are in for a

special treat as soon as you step through the door and see the exposed

woodwork, and character features. The kitchen has been opened up by the

current owners to provide a large space for family and friends to enjoy. The

kitchen is accessed by a stable door, and has a good selection of base units; a

breakfast bar with storage beneath; a dining area, and a separate utility with

spaces for appliances. The reception rooms are delightful, including the snug with

a wood burner for those chilly evenings, and the sitting room with a wealth of

charm and a splendid open fire. For those of you working from home, or

studying, there is an office on the ground floor with French doors to the outside

terrace. The modern family bathroom has everything the family needs, with a

freestanding bath, and separate walk-in shower. Upstairs are five bedrooms,

originally four, so can be converted back if required. There is an abundance of

original character and charm, with exposed timbers, and beams. The master

bedroom has a dressing area with two large built-in double wardrobes, and en-

suite. There are two double guest rooms, both with built-in cupboards. The two

single rooms were created from one larger room, and are perfect for children

wanting their own space having outgrown sharing. This is a spectacular property

with substantial and versatile accommodation offered throughout.

Step Outside

Keepers Cottage is positioned on a large plot, in a quiet location, with field views,

and surrounded by the Suffolk countryside. The property is approached via a

driveway providing ample parking. To the side there is a detached double garage

which has a vast loft area that could be converted by the new owner (subject to

planning). With mature planting, trees, and borders, the grounds are simply

wonderful. There is a paved terrace area for outdoor dining and entertaining, and

an expanse of garden for the children to burn off their energy. Situated in the

grounds is a separate building which could be renovated (subject to planning) to

become a self-contained annex, office, or holiday let. The options are endless.

Location East Barton is on the edge of Great

Barton, which is a sought after village

just a short drive from the market town

of Bury St Edmunds. The village is well

served and includes a pub, shops, petrol

station, a village hall with many events

and club meetings, plus a village school.

Bury St Edmunds has prestigious

shopping, an award-winning market, plus

a variety of cultural attractions and fine

places to stay.
