**Historic Charm Meets Contemporary Comfort in the Heart of the Suffolk-Cambridgeshire Border**
Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind lifestyle opportunity in the picturesque village of Freckenham, where timeless heritage and modern luxury come together in perfect harmony. Formerly a 19th-century Wesleyan chapel, this striking home has been beautifully reimagined to offer spacious, flexible living across a stunning plot approaching a quarter of an acre.
Ideal for families of all shapes and sizes — including multi-generational living — this five-bedroom residence exudes character, with dramatic vaulted ceilings and elegant architectural features, balanced by contemporary design and thoughtful practicality. The principal suite offers a serene sanctuary, complete with an en-suite bathroom and a sense of peaceful grandeur.
Every day life flows seamlessly through the home's generous spaces: relax in the bright and welcoming sitting room, enjoy cosy evenings in the family room, or entertain with ease in the stylish kitchen/dining area. A large utility and boot room makes daily routines effortless, while three additional bathrooms ensure comfort for family and guests alike.
Step outside into your own private haven — the enclosed rear garden is a secluded spot for alfresco dining, family games, or simply soaking up the tranquillity of village life. With ample parking on the front driveway, convenience is never compromised.
Freckenham itself offers the perfect blend of rural charm and community spirit, with a historic 16th-century pub, a beautiful church, and an active village hall at its heart. For broader amenities and cultural attractions, nearby Bury St Edmunds provides a rich tapestry of experiences, from elegant Georgian architecture to award-winning markets, boutique shopping, and lush parkland at the Abbey Gardens.
This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle steeped in heritage, wrapped in comfort, and set in a desirable village location.
Situated in the peaceful village of Freckenham, residing in this idyllic setting provides a harmonious blend of rural living and modern convenience. The village which is some 6.5 miles from Newmarket offers a delightful 16th-century public house/eatery, The Golden Boar, a charming church, as well as a bustling village hall, perfect for community events and activities.
For those seeking additional amenities and a vibrant atmosphere, the nearby town of Bury St Edmunds awaits.
