A well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Bury St Edmunds, offering 724 sq ft of open-plan living above the town’s bustling Abbeygate Street. The building benefits from secure entry, a lift to all floors, basement bike storage and a shared roof terrace — practical features for city-centre life and commuter convenience. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the apartment sits within easy walking distance of shops, theatres and cafés.
The apartment’s layout is straightforward: a large kitchen / sitting / dining room across the width, a generous main bedroom with Buttermarket-facing window and a second room currently used as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes. The shower room is modern and the kitchen includes appliances, washer/dryer and dishwasher. EPC rating C and electric radiators provide reasonable energy performance for a central property.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which can restrict external and structural changes and may complicate maintenance or alterations. It is leasehold (149 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £2,000 and permit/on-street parking only. The flat sits above ground-floor retail on a busy high street, so street noise and reduced privacy are possible. Local recorded crime level is very high — buyers should factor this into security and insurance decisions.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers and professionals seeking central convenience or investors targeting town-centre rental demand. Its blend of period character, modern conversion finishes and communal amenities makes it a practical, well-located option — provided buyers accept the constraints of listed status, service charges and the on-street parking/noise trade-offs.
