A large terrace provides an ideal area for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining whilst enjoying the southerly aspect.

Location

The property is perfectly situated in a sought after location within a short distance of the historic town centre. It is close to well-regarded schools and sports facilities, uniquely independent shops (as well as well-known high street stores, and including a Waitrose supermarket and Marks and Spencer food hall), and the beautiful parks, cinemas, theatres and restaurants for which the town is famously known as the 'Jewel in the Crown of Suffolk'. The house is close to everything that gives Bury its distinct reputation for bringing together the best of old and new, with its rich history and its broad range of venues for dining, shopping and relaxing. These include an impressive fresh produce market every Wednesday and Saturday and the town is renowned for its beautiful Cathedral and for the leafy and floral Abbey Gardens with its impressive medieval ruins, all just a short stroll down from the colourful boutiques and cafe culture of the town centre.

It is easy to see why people want to settle in Bury and make it their home. This property is close to the excellent rail and road networks which make London and Cambridge easily commutable, along with giving access to the fine range of town, country and coastal destinations of East Anglia. Additionally, for international destinations, Stansted Airport is only about an hour's door-to-door journey from the house.
