Edmundsbury, built between 1927 and 1934, is a distinguished example of Blunden Shadbolt's architectural mastery. Shadbolt, influenced by Lutyens but celebrated for his unique style, was known for crafting homes with reclaimed materials, inglenook fireplaces, plank doors and leather drawstring latches. Edmundsbury's ancient bricks and timbers are believed to have been reclaimed from Hardwick House near Bury St Edmunds. Grade II listed, this substantial residence features striking recessed facades and adventurous chimney designs, standing as a testament to Shadbolt's inimitable legacy.
An impressive oak panelled reception hall sets the scene with a captivating galleried landing, leading to versatile living spaces. A full length triple aspect drawing room offers grand proportions, two stone fireplaces and views across the walled rose garden and grounds. There is also a rear aspect formal dining room with a beehive cowl fireplace adjacent to a family room with an inglenook fireplace and access to the south facing terrace, ideal for outdoor dining. To the front there is a spacious study with a fireplace, a utility room, an airing cupboard and a guest cloakroom.
The sizeable Martin Moore designed kitchen breakfast room featuring an AGA with module, also offers access to the terrace through a side door and has a trap door to the wine cellar.
