This flint-fronted Victorian terrace offers a compact, characterful two-bedroom home ideal for first-time buyers seeking a town-centre base. The property benefits from a south-facing rear garden, gated pedestrian access to a single garage and parking, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for modern life.
Internally the layout is straightforward: front sitting room, rear kitchen/breakfast room and two first-floor bedrooms with family bathroom. Room sizes are modest and ceilings are lower than modern builds, so the house will suit buyers comfortable with cottage proportions. The interior is dated in places but appears sound, giving clear scope for cosmetic updating to add value.
Outside, the small but sunny rear garden and private garage/parking are notable assets in this location. The house is within walking distance of Bury St Edmunds town centre, amenities and schools, and is offered freehold with no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for an owner-occupier or investor.
Important considerations: room sizes and low ceilings limit some layouts, and the property will benefit from modernisation of kitchen and bathroom. Overall this is a charming, affordable entry to the town market with good potential for improvement and rental or resale appeal.
