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.
