THE PROPERTY
The Hollies is an immaculately presented family house built a little over 50 years ago and presents colour washed rendered elevations under pan tiled roofs.

The property has well-proportioned family accommodation arranged over two floors, which includes a conservatory, ground floor shower room and five bedrooms.

The entrance porch leads into a spacious reception hall with stairs leading to the first floor and the sitting room has a triple aspect with a bay window to the front, a fireplace housing a coal effect gas fire and French doors lead into the conservatory, which has a tiled floor and double doors leading to the garden. The kitchen/dining room is comprehensively fitted with an attractive range of base and eye level units, solid wood work surfaces, integrated appliances, such as a dishwasher and space for a range cooker oven with extractor hood over, windows to the side and rear aspects, return door to the hall and access leading into the utility room, which is fitted with a work surface, single drainer sink, plumbing for appliances, fitted base and eye level cupboards and doors lead to the shower room and rear garden. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, four of which are double, a family bathroom and the master bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room.

OUTSIDE
The Hollies is approached over a gravelled driveway capable of standing numerous vehicles, leading an oversized detached double garage with twin up and over doors (this previously had planning permission granted for conversion into an annexe, but has now lapsed). The good sized attractive rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a terrace immediately outside the conservatory and a decked seating area at the rear. There are many mature shrubs and trees and access from either side of the house leads to the front.

LOCATION
The Hollies is located in a highly regarded area within a small hamlet on the south eastern outskirts of the village of Thurston, which itself offers a good range of local amenities including a well-regarded community college, upper school, primary school, post office stores, two public houses, parish church and railway station to mainline services.

There are more extensive cultural and amenity facilities in the medieval cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds just 5 miles west which offers an excellent range of schooling in the public and private sectors, extensive shopping facilities and a good range of leisure facilities including health clubs, swimming pools and golf clubs.

For the road commuter there is very easy access to the a14 leading east to the ports of Felixstowe and Harwich and the county town of Ipswich and west to Cambridge via the A11 (M11) to Stansted International Airport and onto the M25 leading to the capital. Mainline train services are also available from Stowmarket with London Liverpool Street taking approximately 80 minutes.

DIRECTIONS
From Bury St Edmunds head east on the A14 towards Stowmarket and after about 4 miles take the slip road signposted Beyton/Tostock & Thurston. At the foot of the slip road turn lead towards Thurston and after a short distance take the next turning right signposted ‘The Planche’. Continue along this road for about ¼ of a mile, around the left bend and after a short distance further The Hollies will be found on the right.
