Occupying a convenient position on the sought-after south side of Bury St Edmunds, this charming period cottage forms part of an attractive terrace of traditional flint-fronted homes and offers well presented accommodation complemented by a south facing rear garden, home office and off road parking.
Retaining much of its character and appeal, the property provides an excellent balance of period charm and modern practicality, making it ideally suited to first-time buyers, professionals, downsizers or investors seeking a character home within easy reach of the town centre and railway station.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming sitting room, tastefully decorated in contemporary tones and featuring bespoke fitted cabinetry and shelving. This inviting reception space enjoys an abundance of natural light and creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
Beyond the sitting room is the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of practical units beneath work surfaces and offering space for both cooking and dining. A window overlooks the rear garden whilst a glazed door provides direct access outside, making this an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining.
On the first floor are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room, featuring a charming bay window together with fitted wardrobe storage. The second bedroom offers flexibility for guests, children or additional workspace if required.
Outside
A particular feature of the property is the enclosed south facing rear garden, which enjoys a good degree of privacy and is enclosed by attractive fencing and established brick-and-flint walls that complement the character of the cottage. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting and paved seating areas creating an ideal environment for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Positioned at the far end of the garden is a highly versatile former garage converted to form a useful home office with two adjoining store rooms. This excellent space offers enormous flexibility and could equally be utilised as a studio, hobby room, workshop or additional work-from-home accommodation depending upon individual requirements.
