The Green, Hartest, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, IP29 4DH

Part of our Signature collection, Brook House dates back to the 17th Century and is a stunning example of a timber framed thatched cottage from this era. The property is set well back from the road on The Green in Hartest and is a short walk from the local pub.

Part of this beautiful cottage was formerly a local butcher’s and boasts a wealth of original features throughout which blend perfectly with the contemporary updates.

The cottage is accessed via a glazed door which opens into a spacious entrance hall, complete with inglenook fireplace and exposed beams. The hall has doors leading to the main sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and dining room, which was the former shopfront. The cosy sitting room has an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. A door leads into a bright office with built-in storage and access to the garden.

On the opposite side of the house, the dining room has built-in shelving and cupboards with a door to the drawing room. From here there are French doors to the sun terrace, access to the kitchen/breakfast room and an inner lobby which leads to the fourth bedroom and showr room as well as a utility room and garage.

The beautifully designed bespoke fitted kitchen comprises wooden base and eye-level units, granite work surfaces, double butler sink, electric range cooker, dishwasher and space for further appliances. The kitchen leads to a stunning breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and glass gable end, ideal for enjoying the meticulously maintained garden. There is also access to the patio areas on two sides.

Stairs from the main entrance hall lead to the first floor where you will find the principal bedroom complete with a dressing area, ensuite shower room and fitted wardrobes. Bedroom three is a spacious room with built-in wardrobes and a staircase leading to a large storage area, which could lend itself as a games room or office space. The first floor concludes with the family bathroom with exposed beams, rolltop bath, WC, basin and vanity unit. From the inner lobby there are stairs leading to another double bedroom with an ensuite shower room, ideal for guests.
