Chain-free one-bedroom cottage steps from Bury St Edmunds town centre — ideal first home or investment.
Chain free freehold cottage close to town centre
Tucked just a short walk from Bury St. Edmunds town centre, this compact period cottage offers a practical first home or straightforward buy-to-let. The ground floor has a cosy sitting room and a neatly fitted kitchen; upstairs sits a double bedroom and a generously sized bathroom. The property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home or letting to professionals.
Chain free and freehold, the house is a low-maintenance city-centre option with access to a shared rear courtyard and four external storage sheds, adding genuinely useful space for bikes and boxes. The flint-and-brick exterior and character details give the cottage period charm while keeping things compact and manageable.
Bear in mind the house is small (approx. 341 sq ft) and has electric/storage heating and dated interior elements, so buyers should allow for potential upgrades to heating and decor to suit modern standards. There is limited private outdoor space, but council tax is very low and there is no flooding risk, which supports affordability and long-term running costs.
This property will suit a single buyer or couple seeking a central, low-upkeep home or an investor seeking a city-centre one-bedroom let. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, layout and handy proximity to amenities and schools.
