16 Orchard Street
We are pleased to offer a very well presented traditional Victorian townhouse in an ideal, central location in the heart of Bury St. Edmunds. The property presents traditional brick elevations and secondary double-glazed sash windows under a slate roof within an attractive conservation area. Modernised throughout to include a ground floor kitchen, utility room, extension, converted attic bedroom, and lined basement room giving additional useful space to the lower floor. With a traditional town home layout but enjoying a lot more space and light than you may at first imagine – also enjoying a private East-facing garden.

16 Orchard Street is ideal if you are looking for a convenient town centre lifestyle, we would highly recommend an early viewing so as not to be disappointed.

In more detail -
The traditional front door leads into the hallway which has glazed double doors across to create a ‘porch’ type enclosure then continues with stairs leading to all first-floor rooms. All doors and skirtings are stripped original pine, a lovely, homely feature of this townhouse. The open plan sitting room sits at the front of the property and is a delightful room with a tiled hearth and timber surround, gas fire, and a large secondary double-glazed traditional bay window to the front. Behind this the dining room space has been opened up through an arch to create a bright open room and has a fireplace recess and large secondary glazed sash window overlooking the rear gardens.

To the rear, a couple of steps lead down to the kitchen with space for dishwasher, built in oven and hob, a terracotta tiled floor and a window to the side. The ceiling is partially vaulted with exposed timbers and there is a useful corner pantry cupboard. A door leads through to the separate utility room where there is ample space for further appliances and side door leading out to the garden. Beyond the utility room is a useful ground floor cloakroom WC.

The basement room, fully lined, could (subject to installing a compliant fire-escape access) perhaps be used for an extra bedroom, home office, or media room. As it is, a very useful and versatile extra storage space with recessed lighting, deep store cupboards, and carpet tiled flooring.

On the first floor a bright landing leads to all rooms. To the front is a spacious family bathroom with corner bath, shower above, WC, and basin and obscure glazed sash window. Bedroom one to the rear has another attractive fireplace with a tiled inset and timber surround. With 2 built-in wardrobe cupboards to each side. Bedroom two is a good-sized double bedroom to the front, has a decorative fireplace, cast iron inset with timber surround and 1 built in wardrobe cupboard alongside. Off the landing there is an airing cupboard housing hot water cylinder, and a door to further stairs, to the second floor. The second floor has been converted to provide bedroom 3 with a velux roof window to the rear, with an attractive rooftop outlook, and with sloping ceilings reducing the full head height at the sides.

Outside
The street facing elevation enjoys a traditional iron railing and gate into the compact front garden with a path to the front door. The private walled rear gardens are laid out with some paving, an area of decking with pergola above and is quite private. There is a mature feature tree and some established planting which creates a leafy outlook from the rear of the house.
