Description

Frontage

The property is approached via a wooden gate, opening onto an attractive communal cobbled courtyard, creating an immediate sense of charm and seclusion. To the front of the property is a delightful seating area with space for a patio table and potted planting, bordered by mature raised brick and flint flower beds and enclosed within the historic Abbey walls themselves.

Entrance Hall - 3.87m x 1.58m (12'8" x 5'2")

A wooden front door with high level glazed window opens into a welcoming entrance hall with exposed sealed brick flooring and an abundance of character. Three full-height fitted cupboards provide excellent coat and shoe storage, thoughtfully designed to maximise the space. Opening through to:

Dining Room - 3.76m x 2.46m (12'4" x 8'0")

Positioned at the heart of the house, the dining room provides a wonderfully connected and sociable space linking the main living areas. Exposed light brick flooring continues through from the entrance hall, while built-in bookcases frame the sash window overlooking the cobbled courtyard towards the Cathedral beyond. An arched glazed opening creates a natural flow through to the kitchen, allowing light to travel easily between the spaces while maintaining a distinct character to each room.

Kitchen - 3.21m x 2.7m (10'6" x 8'10")

Beautifully fitted with a range of shaker-style wall and base units in a soft muted grey, complemented by granite work surfaces and a Butler-style sink with mixer tap over. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, while a five-ring gas hob with glass splashback and integrated oven provide a practical yet elegant finish.

Wood panelling adds further warmth and texture to the room, while the exposed brick flooring continues throughout. Internal arched glazed windows create a lovely connection to the dining room, allowing light to travel between the spaces, with an additional window to the side aspect enjoying views towards the Abbey walls. Door through to:

Understairs Pantry

Hidden beneath the staircase and accessed from the kitchen, this characterful pantry/store room has the feel of an old cottage larder, complete with exposed flintwork, fitted shelving and a wonderfully tucked-away atmosphere. A highly practical space with an almost storybook charm.

Sitting Room - 4.95m x 3.38m (16'2" x 11'1")

Once associated with the West Front’s coaches and carriages before later residential conversion, this beautifully light-filled dual-aspect reception room enjoys sash windows to both the front and side aspects overlooking the neighbouring Abbey gardens. The room retains a wonderful sense of character and proportion from the building’s historic origins, while now providing a calm and elegant living space. Door through to:

Cloakroom - 1.34m x 3.08m (4'4" x 10'1")

Fitted with a range of storage cupboards and complementary work surfaces incorporating a wash hand basin and W/C. There is space and plumbing for both a washing machine and separate tumble dryer, together with a cupboard housing the boiler. Finished with wood-panelled walls, black and white tiled flooring, vanity wall lighting and atmospheric accent lighting throughout.

Stairs

Stairs rise to the first floor beneath a striking, double-height vaulted ceiling, where a deep-set window frames views across to the Abbey gardens and ancient ruins, filling the stairwell with soft natural light and enhancing the sense of height and openness throughout the space.
 
First Floor Landing:
 
An attractive, open landing with vaulted ceiling and generous walk-in storage cupboard, offering excellent additional storage together with potential to create a third bedroom from the principal bedroom, subject to the necessary consents. Doors through to:

Master Bedroom - 6.79m x 4.02m (22'3" x 13'2")

An exceptionally generous principal bedroom, enjoying an abundance of natural light through two sash windows to the front aspect, overlooking the courtyard with views towards the Cathedral and neighbouring rose gardens. The vaulted wood-clad ceiling enhances the sense of space and character, creating a wonderfully calm and atmospheric room. Both elegant and peaceful in equal measure, the space offers a true sense of retreat within the heart of the town. The proportions of the room also provide potential for division into two separate rooms, subject to the necessary consents.

Bedroom Two - 3.69m x 3.41m (12'1" x 11'2")

A beautifully presented guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes and vaulted ceiling, enjoying windows to both the side and front aspects. Elevated views across the neighbouring Abbey gardens and beautifully manicured rose gardens create an exceptionally picturesque outlook within one of Bury St Edmunds’ most historic and beautiful settings.

Shower Room - 2.36m x 2.26m (7'8" x 7'4")

Stylishly fitted with a three-piece suite including a W/C, wash basin set within a vanity unit with drawer storage beneath and an oversized walk-in shower enclosure with thermostatic multi-head shower. Finished with part tiled walls and traditional black and white chequerboard flooring, mirrored in the ground floor cloakroom, together with two heated towel rails and vanity wall lighting. Window to side aspect.

About eXp UK, East of England

It's always best to put your house on the market before you find a property

The estate agent acts for the seller and is there to get the seller the best price possible

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture
