Fornham Road, Bury St. Edmunds

This charming Victorian terraced house is within easy reach of the town centre and is built of traditional red brick construction beneath a slate roof, retaining characteristics one would associate with a home of its era including generous ceiling height and sash windows. Off-road parking and a large attractive garden further enhance the desirability of the property.

The property provides light and airy accommodation which in brief comprises: hallway, a spacious front aspect sitting room with a lovely bay window, dining room, kitchen, utility and cloakroom. There is a generous, versatile cellar which has good head height and could be used as a cinema room, home office or fourth bedroom subject to building and fire regulations.

On the first floor there are three good sized bedrooms. The generous bathroom is well presented and benefits from a white suite comprising a bath, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin as well as a chrome heated towel rail. There is also potential to move up another level into the roof space if desired (subject to planning and building regs).

Outside - To the rear of the property the mature garden which is laid mainly to lawn is certainly another feature of this charming house. Adjacent to the rear and side of the house there is smart brick block paving and several areas to set up a table and chairs in order to enjoy some outdoor dining during the warmer months.
The side pathway leads to a side gate and accesses the brick block driveway which can accommodate parking for two cars.

Location - The property is perfectly situated only a short 10 minute walk from the historic town centre and 2 minutes to the train station. It is close to well-regarded schools and sports facilities, and uniquely independent shops (as well as well known high street stores, and including a Waitrose supermarket just a short walk away), and the beautiful parks, cinemas, theatres and restaurants for which the town is famously known as the 'jewel in the crown of Suffolk'.

The house is close to everything that gives Bury its distinct reputation for bringing together the best of old and new, with its rich history and its broad range of venues for dining, shopping and relaxing. These include an impressive fresh produce market every Wednesday and Saturday and the famous burgeoning Christmas market which features artisans, world cuisine stalls, Victorian funfair attractions and a carol service. The town is renowned for its beautiful Cathedral and for the leafy and floral Abbey Gardens with its impressive medieval ruins, all just a short stroll down from the colourful boutiques and cafe culture of the town centre.

It is easy to see why people want to settle in Bury and make it their home. This property is close to the excellent rail and road networks which make London and Cambridge easily commutable, along with giving access to the fine range of town, country and coastal destinations of East Anglia. Additionally. for international destinations, Stansted Airport is only about an hour's door-to-door journey from the house.
