A well-proportioned Victorian mid-terrace just moments from Bury St Edmunds town centre, this extended two-bedroom house pairs period character with practical modern updates. The property stretches over four floors, including a versatile cellar and a loft bedroom, so the interior feels larger than its modest exterior suggests. New carpets, gas central heating and a stylish kitchen/breakfast room make it ready to move into for many buyers.
Ground-floor living is arranged for everyday comfort and entertaining: a cosy sitting room with a working fireplace, a separate dining area flowing into a vaulted breakfast space, and a shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances and French doors to the rear garden. Upstairs offers two generous double bedrooms (the top-floor room has sloping eaves and a Velux) and a spacious bathroom with both bath and shower. The cellar provides useful additional space for a home office, studio or storage.
Outside the front is a small, sheltered garden behind Victorian railings; the rear is fully enclosed and lawned with a summer house and side gate. There is no off-street parking, but permit parking is available on the road. Practical details: freehold tenure, EPC D, council tax band B (relatively low), double glazing installed before 2002 and mains services in place.
Notable considerations for buyers: the building has solid brick walls with no installed cavity insulation (assumed) and some sloping ceilings on the top floor — useful to know for long-term energy costs and storage. The property sits in an area classified with above-average local crime statistics and is on a small plot, so purchasers seeking a larger garden should factor that in. Overall, this home will suit first-time buyers or couples wanting town-centre convenience with period charm and scope to personalise further.
