Tucked away on a quiet side street in central Bury St Edmunds, this extended Victorian terraced cottage blends period charm with a contemporary kitchen/breakfast living space. The sitting room retains original character with exposed boards, a cast-iron Georgian grate and plantation shutters, while the rear extension creates a bright double-aspect kitchen opening directly to a private, split-level terrace garden.
The layout works well for a small family or professional couple seeking town-centre convenience: two good double bedrooms on the first floor, a useful basement currently used as a third bedroom, and a well-appointed family bathroom. Practical additions include a separate utility/cloakroom, gas central heating to radiators and double glazing (installed before 2002).
Notable positives include no onward chain, central location near shops and good schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is on-street parking in Zone A and the property sits in a conservation area, which helps protect the street character.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the basement is being used as a bedroom and has a fire-escape window rather than conventional ground-floor access; the house has solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; double glazing is older; and the EPC rating is D. The plot is small and parking is on-street only. These are typical of period town-centre cottages and present straightforward upgrade opportunities for insulation, glazing or energy improvements.
