This immaculately presented one-bedroom Grade II listed ground-floor apartment occupies a prime town-centre position on Northgate Street, a short walk from Abbey Gardens, shops and the train station. The apartment combines period character — high ceilings, painted floorboards and a feature fireplace — with a contemporary kitchen and a recently installed wet electric boiler serving radiators. Offered chain free, it’s ready to move into.
The layout is compact and efficient: entrance hall, bright sitting room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a luxury shower room. Direct rear access opens onto a well-screened communal garden with lawn, patio and a bicycle rack. Practical extras include a cellar storage bay and fast broadband availability, making it suitable for working from home.
Important considerations: the building is Grade II listed, so external and some internal alterations will be restricted and may require consent. The property is leasehold with 107 years remaining; annual service charge is approximately £1,950 and ground rent £125 per year. Parking is on-street permit (Zone B) only. The lease contains a covenant restricting pets without manager consent, and the solid brick construction likely has limited wall insulation.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or professional seeking a characterful, low-maintenance home in the heart of Bury St Edmunds. Its chain-free status and central location offer immediate convenience and lifestyle appeal, while the lease length and communal management give long-term security — provided buyers accept the listed-building constraints and ongoing service costs.
