A truly unique 'Temple' conversion in an exclusive gated development on the outskirts of Newmarket
Temple 3 has been featured in The Times, The Financial Times, and Property Week. An elegant home in a serene location, the house truly reflects its name. The historic site, originally owned by the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds is approached through gates leading to a tree-lined driveway. The Shi-Tennoji monks occupied the estate and added the Temple in 1985, bringing craftsmen from Japan to build it. The school closed in 2000, and by 2007 the Temple was converted to four private residences. The entrance has a decked area covered by a traditional overhang. The spacious accommodation enjoys light throughout with the front facing east and back deck facing west, both sides featuring sliding doors with windows.The tiled entrance hall has a cloakroom, store cupboard and access to the first floor. Double doors open into a simply breathtaking open living area enhanced by a real wood maple floor. The 11' 7” high ceiling height and exposed beams add further elegance and character. The kitchen area is fitted with modern, white gloss wall cupboards and base units, black Corian worktops, and built-in appliances. Full wall sliding doors open on to a rear deck which overlooks a beautiful fish pond and well-kept communal Japanese gardens. The sun falls on the deck from late morning until sunset, perfect for al fresco dining.The first floor offers a generous open landing area and three charming, good-sized bedrooms with beam features. There is a stylish en suite shower room to the principal bedroom plus a further family bathroom. A boarded loft has ample storage space with lighting, power, and easy access.Marked parking for two cars is situated in front of the house with a single garage nearby.
