Enterprise House
Description
Settled at the centre of the historic town of Bury St Edmunds, you will find this impressive holiday home, Enterprise House.
Traditionally styled with a quaint interior, with plenty of space to host your group of six, this property is perfect for your retreat with family or friends to this desirable area of Suffolk. Step up into the large hallway and discover the sitting room to find a colourful array of soft furnishing, encompassed by sophisticated wood panelled walls; open up the shutters and let the natural light fill the room, lighting up the woodburning stove in the cooler months for a truly homely feel. On the other side of the hallway rests the dining room with royal green walls and a spacious dining table to host all for your evening meals, while the kitchen also hosts a handy breakfast table for four where you can tuck into a energising breakfast to begin your day of adventure. A large range cooker to assist with all your family favourites, as well as exposed brick and beams bringing even more character to the property. Just outside of the kitchen you can find your very own courtyard where you can while away the hours discussing your favourite holiday moments so far with a refreshing drink in hand. Also on the ground floor you can find a spacious shower room and WC, housing plenty of room for storing any wetsuits after a day on the coast, with a washing machine conveniently being found here too! Move up to the first floor to find three elegant bedrooms, consisting of a master king-size, a double and a twin room, the latter two rooms sharing a wardrobe space with interconnecting doors, making the perfect sleeping spot for those travelling with little ones, each room hosting a traditional interior through its tasteful furnishings and original fireplaces (not operational). Start your days by stepping out of the front door and straight into the historic centre of Bury; venture to one of the local shops to pick up some breakfast essentials for your loved ones, or hunt out a café, with the town being known as 'Suffolk's foodie town', you can find plenty of eateries to take your pick from including pubs and restaurants too, offering all kinds of cuisines. There are plenty of fantastic attractions to discover within the town, with the ruins of the abbey and the 14th century Great Gate and Norman Tower being very close to the property. And opposite are the magnificent Abbey Gardens, flaunting flora and fauna of all kinds. The town is also home to Suffolk's only cathedral and Moyse's Hall Museum, both perfect for uncovering the rich history of the area.Visit the National Trust property of Ickworth, or he beautiful park of Nowton, spanning over 200 acres with a pretty pond, wildflower meadow, a maze, lime avenue and arboretum, it makes a lovely way to spend a day, while the Thetford Forest Park is also just a scenic drive away for those seeking the ultimate outdoor experience. Venture to the coast, either east to the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the lovely seaside towns of Aldeborough and Southwold; or north to the stunning beaches of the North Norfolk Coast and beauty spots such as Blakeney Point for seal watching. Traditionalists will enjoy the Essex seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea where you can tuck into some tasty fish and chips on the seafront before enjoying an hour of two in the amusement arcade. In reach of Ipswich, Cambridge, and Norwich too, there are so many wonderful places to explore on an escape to Enterprise House

What guests are saying
Traffic noise excessive for me late at night
The house is beautiful and we would gladly rent it again in the future.
One small comment might be to add that the stairs are steep. But … and it is a big but we live less than 1/4 mile away with plentiful parking, and they did not have a car. I don’t think the marketing made enough of not only the lack of parking, but also the cost of public parking at Ram Meadow probably more than a quarter of a mile away. For a family with young children the ‘hike’ to and from parking with buggies etc - I suspect it would be a “never again” description. The value of the location would be lost on the lack of parking. That needs to made clearer. If there is ‘no parking’. - where is the parking? But otherwise great.
Enterprise House is comfortable, spacious and very conveniently located.
It has a nice kitchen with good appliances and great towels. It’s quite a minimalist house, no pictures, ornaments, hooks on the doors, or games. You need to bring or buy some basic items with you as we found there was no Tupperware, tissues, only two dishwasher tablets and 35ml washing up liquid, no kitchen hand soap, no wood, kindling etc for the stove. Out of 12 pillows, only four had pillow under slips/protectors, and they were not new pillows. You will be asked to put the bins out. The bin was quite full before we arrived and it was so heavy I could hardly move it. Parking is around £11 for a seven day stay, a few minutes away. There were a few maintenance issues, quite long standing as mentioned previously in the property book, such as a loose toilet seat, and a non working extractor fan, loose towel rings, and two smoke detectors had flat batteries in them so were removed by the property manager to stop them bleeping. All said, I would book again, as i5 is a comfortable base for a holiday.
