Set on the much-favoured west side of Bury St Edmunds, this recently remodelled 3-bedroom detached chalet bungalow offers a light, flexible family layout across nearly 1,500 sq ft. The ground floor provides two bedrooms, a roomy sitting room with fireplace, and a well-equipped kitchen/dining area, while the first floor is devoted to a hugely practical principal bedroom with en-suite and Juliet balcony. Multiple dual-aspect windows create a bright, airy feel throughout.
Outside is thoughtfully arranged for low-maintenance living: a brick-weave driveway with generous parking leads to a newly built single garage, and an enclosed rear garden has paved terraces, stocked beds, a bespoke timber-and-glass greenhouse, pergola and a powered garden studio/home office—ideal for working from home or creative use. The front enjoys open views toward the River Linnet and easy access to local shops, schools and town amenities.
The house has been significantly improved and extended in recent years and benefits from double glazing and modern gas central heating. Practical strengths include fast broadband availability and excellent mobile signal. Council Tax sits at an affordable Band C for the area.
Notable considerations: the plot is relatively small for a detached home and local surface water flood risk is assessed as medium (no history of flooding reported by the current owners). The property dates from the 1950s with later extensions, so prospective buyers should note the mixed-period construction when assessing long-term maintenance and any future alterations.
