This chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home or straightforward buy-to-let in western Bury St Edmunds. At 317 sq ft the layout is economical: a sitting/dining room, separate kitchen with electric oven and hob, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom with an electric shower. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are a practical rarity for flats in this area.
The property sits on a modern 1990s development with double glazing and cavity walls; the lease is long (953 years), reducing upfront lease concerns for buyers. Monthly running costs may be lower than average — council tax is described as very cheap — but the apartment uses electric storage heating, so consider potential energy costs in colder months.
This apartment is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking a low-complexity purchase or an investor targeting a straightforward tenancy. The current tenant has been served notice, allowing for a vacant possession sale, and the chain-free status supports a quicker transaction. The accommodation is small, so it will suit buyers wanting compact, manageable space rather than larger family living.
Important practical points: the footprint is limited and interior space is modest, so furniture and storage options are constrained. There’s no evidence of recent major upgrades to heating or kitchen appliances, so buyers wanting modern systems should budget for possible improvements.
