LION HOUSE Renovated former village pub that has been divided into two dwellings. Located in the Suffolk village of Rougham, approximately 6 miles from the popular market town of Bury St Edmunds. In brief this property boasts four bedrooms (one with ensuite), family bathroom, sitting room, study, and kitchen/breakfast room with French doors to the garden, and a ground floor cloakroom.
Rougham is home to The Rougham Estate consisting of over 3,000 acres of Suffolk countryside with ancient meadows, green lanes, oak-lined hedgerows, bluebells and orchids, parkland and arable fields. It traces its history back to Roman times and has seen both Saxons and Vikings. It was owned by the local abbey in Bury St Edmunds for six hundred years. During World War Two an airfield was built in the village and Rougham Hall was bombed.
Rougham is just 6 miles from the market town of Bury St Edmunds which is a unique and dazzling historic gem with a richly fascinating heritage - the striking combination of medieval architecture, elegant Georgian squares and glorious Cathedral and Abbey Gardens provide a distinctive visual charm. With prestigious shopping, an award-winning market, plus a variety of cultural attractions and fine places to stay, Bury St Edmunds is under two hours from London and very convenient for Cambridge.
