Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk

An exceptional house situated in one of the finest locations in town, with versatile accommodation extending to 5,300sq-ft with incredible views across Angel Hill towards the Abbeygate along with off-road parking for at least 2 cars.

6 Angel Hill occupies a prominent position within the historic centre of Bury St Edmunds, overlooking Angel Hill with views towards the Abbey Gate and Cathedral. Listed Grade II* and dating from the late 17th century, the house has been carefully restored and adapted over time, combining a wealth of period character with practical modern living.

Constructed principally of timber frame beneath a hipped slate roof, the property presents an elegant Flemish bond brick façade to the street, with rendered elevations to the rear. Arranged over four floors, it retains a notable collection of historic features, including a barley-twist staircase, carved marble chimneypieces, extensive 16th and 17th-century panelling, stained and sash windows, and generous ceiling heights throughout.

The accommodation is both well-proportioned and versatile. A reception hall leads to a series of reception rooms including a garden room with walk-in bay and French doors opening onto the terrace, a dining room with panelled walls, shutters and carved marble fireplace, and a study fitted with bespoke bookcases. The kitchen has been individually crafted with oak worktops, a double Butler sink and integrated appliances, supported by a traditional scullery, utility room and cloakroom. A substantial cellar lies beneath the house.
The principal drawing room occupies the first floor, where large sash windows enjoy views across Angel Hill towards the Abbey Gate and Cathedral. A marble fireplace provides a focal point, while an adjoining study offers additional reception or working space. Also on this floor is the principal bedroom suite, comprising a bedroom, dressing area and shower room.

The second floor provides four further bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and two shower rooms, one of which is en suite.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a private and sheltered setting, with established planting, herb beds and a broad terrace extending across the rear elevation, ideally suited to outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, a gravelled path rises to a secure gated parking area approached from Lower Baxter Street.
