Situated within the well designed and highly regarded development on the western side of Bury St Edmunds, this attractive ground floor apartment, built in 2008, offers well balanced accommodation, a private garden and its own allocated parking space.

The bedroom is a comfortable double room of good proportions with a window to the front aspect, offering a private and peaceful retreat away from the main living space. The bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring modern tiling, a curved bath with shower over, contemporary sanitary ware and a clean, neutral palette.
