Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk

A beautifully presented and updated Victorian house with 100ft garden, within walking distance to the town centre

Situated along the well-established and popular Out Westgate within comfortable walking distance of the historic centre of Bury St Edmunds, this attractive late Victorian townhouse has been thoughtfully updated in recent years, creating a beautifully presented home that successfully combines period character with contemporary style.

Dating back to the late 19th century, the house forms part of an appealing terrace of traditional Suffolk brick properties, with an attractive bay-fronted elevation and a wealth of character typical of its era. The present owners have undertaken a programme of improvements, including the installation of a new kitchen and bathroom, complemented by tasteful decoration throughout. The result is a particularly inviting home, with a lovely balance of original features, natural light and carefully considered finishes.

The accommodation extends to approximately 829 sq ft and is arranged over two floors, with a traditional layout that works particularly well for modern living. The bay-fronted sitting room is a charming space, enjoying good natural light and an attractive period fireplace, whilst the separate dining room has a fireplace and useful storage, as well as access to a good-sized cellar. Both rooms have been sympathetically decorated, with the fireplaces providing attractive focal points and white-washed timber floors.

The newly fitted kitchen has a fresh, understated appearance with integrated 4-ring hob and oven, ceramic sink with drainer, fridge and washing machine, with access to the garden and adjoining ‘gardeners WC’.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own individual character, ornate fireplaces and white-washed floorboards. The bathroom which is accessed from the principal bedroom has been updated with a modern white suite with bath with shower and screen, pedestal wash basin and low-level WC. There is also a useful cupboard with radiator.

Outside
One of the property's most appealing features is the unusually long rear garden, extending to approximately 100 feet. Predominantly laid to lawn, with established trees, shrubs and planting, it provides a wonderful outdoor space that is difficult to find so close to the centre of town.

A pedestrian right of way runs along the rear of the terrace, providing access to the eastern end of the row. This is shared with two neighbouring properties and is principally used for moving wheelie bins.
