We are thrilled to introduce this Grade II listed country home, featuring well sized accommodation, equestrian facilities, and well-established gardens. Located on the outskirts of the village of Thurston, this property offers a fantastic opportunity to own an income-generating and versatile home.
Fall in love with the charm and character of this Grade II Listed property dating back almost 500 years. Situated in an idyllic setting, this expansive family home offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and versatility for countryside living at its very finest.
With original beams, mullion windows, and stone flooring seamlessly complementing modern amenities, Grove Farm's warm and inviting living spaces provide the perfect backdrop for stylish entertaining or intimate gatherings. Take your pick of several reception rooms, each with their own unique appeal. Whether it's the cozy study with a bay window and feature fireplace, drawing room with an inglenook fireplace and doors leading to the garden, or the impressive vaulted ceiling of the dining room, there's no shortage of spaces for family and friends to relax and enjoy.
The heart of the home undoubtedly lies in the kitchen/family room; a light-filled space fitted with an Aga as well as an integrated electric oven and gas hob. The room provides ample space for informal dining while large French doors open up to stunning views of the garden and pond. Completing the ground floor is a convenient utility room and cloakroom.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a perfect haven with stunning views. The captivating ambience extends to three more double bedrooms and a large family bathroom on the first floor, with an additional two double bedrooms, a bathroom, and separate cloakroom on the second floor.
The house is approached via electric gates and a large gravelled driveway with generous parking. Accessed from the driveway are three beautifully presented outbuildings that are currently used for Airbnb; two with two bedrooms and one single bedroom. All three offer open plan reception spaces, kitchenettes and dedicated areas to outside and provide versatile accommodation for guests or to retain as a business. Further information as to potential income can be obtained from the vendors or the agent.
The gardens and grounds are well-established and primarily laid to lawn. Bordered and interspersed with mature hedging, ponds and numerous trees, the gardens offer various spots to sit and relax, dine al fresco or play.
To the rear of the property are the equestrian facilities. Built during the current owners' time at Grove Farm, these comprise a beautifully equipped stable block with 5 loose boxes, two store/tack room, workshop and feed store with covered area to the front. With full power and water, the building offers incredible opportunity for those seeking ideal space for horses or additional storage. Furthermore, through a set of electric gates, is a 20x40 metre rubber and sand surfaced arena located in front of the stable block and an area of the grounds has been divided by post and rail fencing into a grazing paddock. In addition, planning was approved but has now lapsed for a barn and a horse-walker East of the stable block.
Grove Farm sits to the outskirts of the village of Thurston which offers a range of amenities, including pubs and restaurants, sports clubs, pre-school, primary school, library and church. The renowned market town of Bury St. Edmunds is located 6.7 miles away, with a wide range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities, including the Theatre Royal, cathedral, golf courses, sports clubs and the Arc shopping centre. The picturesque Abbey Gardens are also an immense feature of the town. There are a number of well-regarded schools in the area, including South Lee and Moreton Hall Preparatory Schools and Culford School. Mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street are accessible from Stowmarket and the A14 provides access to Cambridge and The Midlands to the west, London to the south and the country’s motorway network.
