About this property

Fully restored this unique and substantial family home is situated within Nowton Park which is located on the outskirts of Bury St Edmunds, known as a jewel in Suffolk’s crown. It boasts almost 200 acres of woodland, parkland, ponds, and wildflower meadows to explore, all directly on your doorstep. The town centre is just 1.8 miles away, where you can visit the iconic St Edmundsbury Cathedral, peruse the wonderful independent shops, wander around the Abbey Gardens, and enjoy a delicious meal in the many excellent restaurants on offer. A little outside of Bury St Edmunds (3.6 miles) is Ickworth Estate, a National Trust site, with an exquisite Italianate Palace, gardens, and parkland. Bring a picnic and while away the day in this gorgeous setting. Newmarket, the home of horse racing, is within easy reach too (18 miles) and is a great day out for everyone to enjoy an exhilarating day at the races!

This private oasis within Nowton Park is the perfect place to come and enjoy peace and quiet. Set across three floors this holiday home has plenty of space for everyone. Step inside and you are welcomed into a modern interior designer’s haven which still boasts lots of lovely charm and character. The living room is a gorgeous space with plenty of comfy seating for all to be together to play board games, watch a movie on the Smart TV or just sit and chat. The kitchen is simply stunning with everything you could need for your self-catering stay, perfect for cooking up a delightful meal that can all be enjoyed together in the light and bright dining room. The handy utility room and cloakroom are also on the ground floor. Upstairs to the first and second floors boasts all accommodation for eight guests. Two bedrooms on each floor share two contemporary bathrooms making it ideal for two families to come together and have their own space. All bedrooms have super-king-size zip-and-link beds that can be made up as twins if required, offering versatility for your stay as well as pretty views of the gardens and parkland around.

The cherry on top for this countryside getaway is the private, enclosed garden nestled amongst the acres of parkland. Al fresco dining will be a treat here too, with an outside table and chairs, BBQ, and chimenea for those chillier evenings.
