Bury St Edmunds

A discreetly positioned and beautifully restored townhouse of over 2,100 sq ft, offering elegant, light-filled accommodation, a remarkable private garden, garage and parking—an increasingly rare and highly desirable combination in the very heart of the town.

Originally formed from two houses some 60 years ago, this rather special townhouse has, in more recent years, been thoughtfully restored and enhanced to an exacting standard. Extending to approximately 2,100 sq ft, the property offers beautifully proportioned accommodation, notable for its sense of light, space and understated quality, with a wealth of carefully considered details throughout.

Tucked away along a quiet one-way lane just moments from the town centre, the setting is both discreet and exceptionally convenient—within a short walk of Marks & Spencer and an excellent selection of independent shops and restaurants. Of particular note is the wonderfully private garden, together with garage and off-road parking, a combination rarely found so centrally. The house also benefits from solar panels, contributing to its overall efficiency.

The accommodation is both well balanced and well maintained. A welcoming reception hall sets the tone, with a fine oak staircase rising to a galleried landing and access to a cloakroom. The principal sitting room is a comfortable, dual-aspect space, centred around a marble fireplace, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. Beyond, the dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining, also enjoying views over the rear garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room, a later addition, is a particularly striking space with its vaulted ceiling and discreet spotlighting. It is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units, complemented by integrated appliances, and includes a walk-in pantry. French doors connect seamlessly with the garden, while an internal door leads through to the garage.

Upstairs, the galleried landing offers an unexpectedly generous area, currently arranged as a study or library, enhanced by a modern bay window to the front and a Juliet balcony to the rear, affording pleasant views over the garden and staircase below. Three well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged off this space. The principal bedroom is especially impressive, being dual aspect with fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite shower room. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted storage and its own en suite, while a family bathroom serves the third.

Outside, the front of the property is laid to block paving, providing off-road parking and access to the integral garage with electric door. The rear garden is a particular highlight—beautifully established and thoughtfully planted, offering a high degree of privacy and a peaceful, sheltered setting ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

The house occupies a highly regarded and central position within this historic Suffolk market town, well known for its twice-weekly market, Abbey Gardens and cathedral. The town combines a rich heritage with an excellent range of amenities, making it one of the region’s most desirable places to live.
