A substantial detached house in Bury St Edmunds has hit the market at a guide price of £845,000.
Stretching to over 3,000 sq ft, the five-bedroom home on Westminster Drive “offers light, versatile, well-presented accommodation that would suit a range of different lifestyles”, according to selling agent David Burr.
It also benefits from generous grounds of around 0.65 acres, a double garage and ample parking.
Fronting the house is an entrance vestibule with a wall of glass incorporating a central door.
A solid wood door bordered by glass bricks and contemporary fittings opens to the spacious entrance hall, which has a period feel.

To the right of the hallway is an impressive drawing room with a fireplace and inset coal-effect gas fire on a stone hearth.
Bi-fold doors open to the conservatory, offering lovely views over the rear garden. Another set of double doors opens to a brick-paved terrace.
Other rooms off the entrance hall include a WC, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and study, which could also be used as a snug or playroom.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching units, extensive storage cupboards and drawers. A central table area is finished with a thick Corian worktop that continues around the kitchen and incorporates a twin-bowl twin-drainer sink with mixer tap over.
Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, Bosch electric double oven, combination microwave/oven and electric hob with fitted De Dietrich extractor over.
Off the kitchen is a utility room with fitted storage cupboards, worktops and an inset stainless-steel sink with mixer tap over. There is also space for a full-height fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and other appliances.
A separate ground-floor wing adjoining the garage – and accessible from the garden – comprises a gym, WC and games/bedroom, which is currently used as an office.
The gym has fitted matting but also has potential for others uses, such as a games room or workshop.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom off the spacious landing.
The master bedroom provides views over the rear garden and is fitted with extensive mirror-fronted wardrobes.
It also benefits from an en suite with large shower cubicle, WC, heated towel rail and 'his and hers' wash basins with storage below and marble worktop.

The remaining three bedrooms are generously sized, with one including a built-in double wardrobe.
They are served by the family bathroom which comprises a particularly large double-ended bath with separate shower over, WC, heated towel rail and wash basin on a bespoke vanity unit.
The grounds – one of the property’s most attractive features – are divided into distinct areas.
To the rear, a large south-facing terrace is designed with entertaining and alfresco dining in mind. It opens to a large expanse of lawn, which is bordered by roses, trees, colourful plants and shrubs.

Beyond is a vegetable garden complete with greenhouse and a further generous area of garden planted with an avenue of established lime trees, a number of which are subject to a tree preservation order.
At the back of the garden is a useful workshop/store with light and power connected.
To the front, a sweeping tarmac drive provides extensive parking for several vehicles and leads to the double garage with light and power connected.
The property currently benefits from solar panels that also service an electric vehicle charger. These panels are available by separate negotiation.
