This mid-19th-century Victorian mid-terrace combines genuine period character with practical town-centre living. Recently installed timber sash windows and retained original fireplaces give the house immediate curb appeal while internal improvements (including a converted cellar) provide flexible space across three levels.
Ground-floor living is bright and connected: a sitting room with polished wooden floors and fireplace flows to a separate dining room and a compact kitchen with garden access. The converted cellar creates a sizeable third bedroom or further reception room, though it is lower-level accommodation with limited natural light compared to upstairs bedrooms. The first-floor bathroom is modern and functional.
Outside, a private rear garden offers useful outdoor space and views towards St John’s Church—uncommon for a town-centre terrace—while the small overall plot and narrow frontage reflect the property’s compact footprint. The house has gas central heating and fast broadband and sits a short stroll from Bury St Edmunds’ shops, schools and transport links.
Practical considerations: the building is solid-brick and likely lacks wall insulation, so buyers should budget for insulating improvements if desired. The local area shows higher-than-average crime and greater deprivation indicators; this is best weighed by buyers considering family living or long-term rental. Overall, the house offers a characterful, compact home or buy-to-let opportunity with scope for targeted updating and improvement.
