In more detail -
The traditional front door leads into the hallway which has glazed double doors across to create a ‘porch’ type enclosure then continues with stairs leading to all first-floor rooms. All doors and skirtings are stripped original pine, a lovely, homely feature of this townhouse. The open plan sitting room sits at the front of the property and is a delightful room with a tiled hearth and timber surround, gas fire, and a large secondary double-glazed traditional bay window to the front. Behind this the dining room space has been opened up through an arch to create a bright open room and has a fireplace recess and large secondary glazed sash window overlooking the rear gardens.

To the rear, a couple of steps lead down to the kitchen with space for dishwasher, built in oven and hob, a terracotta tiled floor and a window to the side. The ceiling is partially vaulted with exposed timbers and there is a useful corner pantry cupboard. A door leads through to the separate utility room where there is ample space for further appliances and side door leading out to the garden. Beyond the utility room is a useful ground floor cloakroom WC.

The basement room, fully lined, could (subject to installing a compliant fire-escape access) perhaps be used for an extra bedroom, home office, or media room. As it is, a very useful and versatile extra storage space with recessed lighting, deep store cupboards, and carpet tiled flooring.

On the first floor a bright landing leads to all rooms. To the front is a spacious family bathroom with corner bath, shower above, WC, and basin and obscure glazed sash window. Bedroom one to the rear has another attractive fireplace with a tiled inset and timber surround. With 2 built-in wardrobe cupboards to each side. Bedroom two is a good-sized double bedroom to the front, has a decorative fireplace, cast iron inset with timber surround and 1 built in wardrobe cupboard alongside. Off the landing there is an airing cupboard housing hot water cylinder, and a door to further stairs, to the second floor. The second floor has been converted to provide bedroom 3 with a velux roof window to the rear, with an attractive rooftop outlook, and with sloping ceilings reducing the full head height at the sides.

Outside
The street facing elevation enjoys a traditional iron railing and gate into the compact front garden with a path to the front door. The private walled rear gardens are laid out with some paving, an area of decking with pergola above and is quite private. There is a mature feature tree and some established planting which creates a leafy outlook from the rear of the house.

Location
Orchard Street is ideally located in the historic centre of Bury St. Edmunds. It sits within the town’s conservation area and enjoys easy access to St. Johns Street, boutiques, cafes, bars, shops, and the High Street/Buttermarket beyond. It is very close to public transport too with the bus and train stations within easy reach. Parking is on-street and provided by residents’ permit (zone A). All amenities are within easy walking distance and Bury St. Edmunds is a delightful town to walk through and to discover all that it offers.
