Temple 3 has been featured in The Times, The Financial Times, and Property Week. An elegant home in a serene location, the house truly lives up to 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 artisans from Japan to build it. The school closed in 2000, and by 2007, the Temple was converted into 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 the 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 maplewood 11' 0". 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 that overlooks a beautiful fish pond and well-kept communal Japanese gardens. The sun shines on the deck from late morning until sunset, making it 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 offers ample storage, lighting, power, and easy access.

Marked parking for two cars is situated in front of the house with a single garage nearby.

Peacefully situated in the hamlet of Herringswell, the property is well placed to visit Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Norwich and London.

Delivery services, including most supermarkets, serve the site well, and there is an excellent Doctors' Surgery four miles away at Mildenhall.

Good access to the A14 and A11 gives links to major road networks. Cambridge offers direct lines into London, with the fastest train taking under one hour.

Kennett Railway Station: 3.1 miles and offers free parking
Cambridge: 23 miles
Bury St Edmunds: 13 miles
