Kingsway, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, IP28

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home extending to approximately 2,100 sq ft, formed from the thoughtful combination of two full-sized properties. Originally dating back to 1899 as Mildenhall’s much-loved general store, “Dot’s Shop”,

The front residence blends period charm with a later 1980s addition to the rear, now seamlessly combined into a single, expansive dwelling. The result is a uniquely versatile home offering generous proportions, flexible living space and immediate move-in readiness.

The ground floor is centred around a beautifully presented, recently refitted Wren’s kitchen featuring shaker-style cabinetry, solid oak worktops and integrated appliances, flowing through to a bright conservatory with direct access to the garden. A separate utility room provides further practicality, while the living room enjoys dual bay windows and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Additional reception space includes a dining room with dual aspects, alongside a highly adaptable internal workshop/craft room, offering potential for a fifth bedroom, nursery or home office.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted or walk-in wardrobes, and one well-proportioned single bedroom. The principal suite enjoys its own walk-in wardrobe and en suite, complemented by a stylish family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath. A further bathroom on the ground floor enhances the home’s functionality, making it ideal for larger families or multi-generational living. The property has been comprehensively updated in recent years, including new flooring throughout, modernised bathrooms, an upgraded boiler, and air conditioning heat pumps to both the lounge and conservatory.

Externally, the property is equally impressive, offering a generous private driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, extending to the rear. The enclosed courtyard-style garden provides a private, low-maintenance outdoor space with a mix of paved and gravelled areas, planted borders and secure gated access, ideal for pets. Further benefits include a double garage with power and lighting, a carport, and a timber shed, delivering excellent storage and workshop potential.

This is a home of genuine scale and individuality, combining historical character with modern upgrades and exceptional versatility. With its expansive layout, strong practical features and scope for further reconfiguration if desired, it presents a compelling option for buyers seeking both space and lifestyle in one package.
