This Grade II listed three-storey townhouse sits in the heart of Bury St Edmunds, offered with no onward chain and strong short‑stay rental potential. Its authentic period features — exposed timbers, shuttered sash window and a feature fireplace — create immediate character appeal that will attract holiday‑let guests and buyers seeking a lock‑up‑and‑leave city base.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with a useful cellar for storage and a low‑maintenance enclosed courtyard ideal for alfresco dining. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and three bedrooms; room sizes are modest, typical of historic town terraces, so the home suits buyers prioritising character over expansive modern living.
Important practical notes: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate refurbishment or any structural changes. There is no private parking and on‑street permit parking is understood to be necessary. The local area records very high crime levels — buyers should factor this into letting or owner‑occupier plans.
Overall, this freehold property offers a rare central location and strong short‑let credentials for investors or those seeking a compact, characterful town centre home. It will particularly suit purchasers prepared to work within listed‑building constraints and to update kitchen and bathrooms to maximise value.
