Situated within the well designed and highly regarded development on the western side of Bury St Edmunds, this attractive ground floor apartment, built in 2008, offers well balanced accommodation, a private garden and its own allocated parking space. A key advantage is the apartment’s own private front door opening directly onto the street, avoiding any communal areas and providing a greater sense of independence, privacy and ease of access.

The contemporary kitchen is fitted with modern units, integrated appliances and ample work surfaces, with tiled flooring subtly defining the area. A number of windows draw in natural light, giving the room a warm and open feel ideal for daily living and entertaining. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to support modern lifestyles.

The bedroom is a comfortable double room of good proportions with a window to the front aspect, offering a private and peaceful retreat away from the main living space. The bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring modern tiling, a curved bath with shower over, contemporary sanitary ware and a clean, neutral palette.

Abbots Gate is a sought after modern development known for its thoughtful layout, architectural interest and community feel. Its position on the western edge of the town provides straightforward access to the A14, West Suffolk Hospital, nearby green spaces and the thriving town centre. Offering a rare combination of ground floor living, a private entrance with no communal areas, a garden, allocated parking, modern comforts and no onward chain, this one bedroom apartment presents an excellent opportunity for the discerning buyer.
