Southgate Street, Bury St. Edmunds

A superb, high-specification duplex penthouse apartment with a balcony and two allocated parking spaces, enjoying a prime position within easy reach of the historic town centre, with elevated views towards the Abbey gardens.

Set within an attractive and well-regarded building, this beautifully presented apartment offers light-filled accommodation approaching 1,150 sq. ft., arranged over two floors and thoughtfully designed to combine period charm with contemporary finishes. The setting is particularly convenient, being just a short walk from the heart of Bury St Edmunds, yet affording a sense of privacy and elevation.
The principal living space is a striking, generously proportioned sitting and dining room, where a series of sash windows—each fitted with shutters—draw in an exceptional quality of natural light. Solid wood flooring flows throughout, complemented by a feature fireplace, creating a space equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

The adjoining kitchen has been finished in a modern style, with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including a five-ring induction hob, oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer. Subtle recessed and low-level lighting enhances the clean lines, whilst there remains space for informal dining.

To the upper floor, the arrangement of bedrooms is particularly appealing. The principal bedroom offers excellent proportions, with built-in storage and a well-appointed en suite shower room featuring a rain shower and contemporary tiling. A second double bedroom provides versatile accommodation, with space for both sleeping and study areas, and benefits from direct access onto a generous and private balcony—an ideal vantage point from which to enjoy views towards the Abbey.
A family bathroom on this level is equally well finished, comprising a bath with shower over, WC, wash basin and heated towel rail.

Outside - Additional benefits include two allocated off-road parking spaces, a particularly useful large lockable basement storage area with power, and secure entry via an intercom system.
