This compact mid-terrace cottage on Horringer Road offers a practical two-double-bedroom layout just a short walk from Bury St Edmunds town centre and West Suffolk Hospital. The property is freehold and comes with a good-sized enclosed rear garden — a rare find for a home of this footprint — and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for remote working or staying connected.
The interior is straightforward and habitable but dated: small rooms, lower ceilings and mid-20th-century fittings throughout. The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated oven and plumbing for appliances; the living room has an electric fire and the house benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. This will suit a first-time buyer wanting a manageable home or someone looking to add value through modest updating.
Buyers should be aware of several practical considerations. The property has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), so energy-efficiency improvements would be beneficial. The house is small at around 549 sq ft, ceiling heights are modest and some areas—carpets, external curb appeal and garden—show signs of wear and need tidy-up or modernisation. There is a medium flood risk for the area; purchasers should obtain specific flood and insurance advice.
Overall this is a well-located, inexpensive freehold opportunity in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with good schools and transport links. It will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a central base they can personalise, or investors seeking a straightforward buy-to-let after some cosmetic and energy-efficiency upgrades.
