4 Bed Town House To Rent

A SUPERIOR GEORGIAN TOWNHOUSE WITH A NO EXPENSE SPARED RESTORATION AND OFF-STREET PARKING, LOCATED IN THE HISTORIC BURY ST. EDMUNDS TOWN CENTRE.

On the corner of Angel Hill and Northgate Street, nestled next to the Italian Romanesque former ‘Victory Chapel’ crowned by its splendid campanile that punctuates the skyline, an elegant white brick Georgian façade greets you. Step through the beautiful Ionic pilastered entranceway, one of many preserved architectural details, you are instantly welcomed by a graceful family home.

Constructed in the early 19th century and once part of a much larger property incorporating two adjoining dwellings, the townhouse in more recent years operated as lawyers’ offices until being entirely restored to its former glory in 2018 by a local period homes specialist builder. Of particular note is the addition of a superb extension to the rear, conversion of two natural light-filled basement lounges, the restoration of a beautiful hidden oak winder staircase with its statement curved handrail and unearthing of large period fireplaces. A show-stopping luxury Neptune kitchen takes centre stage with its substantial island while hardwood oak floors flow through from the elegant long shaker panelled reception hall to the sitting room and garden room. Completely re-wired and plumbed, underfloor heating complements well-sourced Victorian-style cast iron radiators. Lighting plays a transformative role with an ambient mix of pendant chandeliers combined with various subtle accents. Sumptuous bathrooms and a shower room serve four large bedrooms. The principal suite is superior in size and the contained top floor guest suite enjoys a rooftop view of the decorative neighbouring redundant bell tower.

Outside there is a compartmentalised garden comprising a low maintenance south-facing brick paved courtyard and a separate space bound by an attractive tall brick and flint retaining wall that provides a blank canvas to put one’s own signature on. All-important off-street parking is approached from the front and accessible via separate gated garden access.

LOCATION:

Conveniently located within the historic Cathedral town centre of Bury St. Edmunds with the Abbey Gardens parkland quite literally on your doorstep and the hustle and bustle of Angel Hill within easy reach of the bars, restaurants and independent shopping boutiques. Excellent A14 access is afforded by Northgate Street to Cambridge, London and beyond.
