Summary - 40 ST JOHNS STREET BURY ST. EDMUNDS IP33 1SP
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Compact, chain-free two-bed with rare freehold parking—ideal first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom end-terrace, central town location
This chain-free two-bedroom end-of-terrace sits in the heart of Bury St. Edmunds, a short walk from the railway station and town centre amenities. The house offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with a compact front garden and a valuable freehold parking space — a rare convenience in this central location.
Inside, the layout is practical: entrance hall with cloakroom, a fitted kitchen, and a generous sitting room with useful walk-in storage. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. The property has gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and an EPC C rating, so running costs are reasonable.
This home suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors alike. It has a proven rental history (circa £1,000–£1,100 pcm) and is presented for immediate occupation with no onward chain. The small plot and low-maintenance finish make it ideal for someone after a lock-up-and-leave town-centre base.
Important practical points: the house is compact (approx. 463 sq ft) and lacks a rear garden, so outdoor space is limited. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls assumed without insulation; buyers should consider potential improvement works for thermal upgrade. Local data shows higher-than-average crime levels and relative area deprivation, which may concern some buyers.
