The accommodation in brief is as follows: Entrance into the property via the front door into an expansive hallway which accesses all four bedrooms, dining room/family room as well as the kitchen, breakfast room and sitting room. The rear aspect sitting room flows into the fabulous garden room which allows light to flood through into the space as well as bringing the outside in. In addition, there are two bathrooms which include a family bathroom and en-suite shower room. The bedrooms are all doubles with one of them benefitting from the en-suite. **Outside** - The wonderful mature garden at the rear of the bungalow is certainly a great feature here with different zones offering multiple reasons to appreciate the outside space. There is a large terrace which overlooks the pond and offers a fantastic area to entertain friends and family. Beyond the patio, there is a lawned area surrounded by maturing fruit trees and bushes, which then leads to a much loved and well-tended vegetable garden with a variety of growing options available. **Location** - Situated on the south west side of Bury St Edmunds, this property is most convenient for access to both the town centre and West Suffolk Hospital. It is close to well-regarded schools and sports facilities, and 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 famous burgeoning Christmas market which features artisans, world cuisine stalls, Victorian funfair attractions and a carol service. 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 bungalow. **Directions** - Leaving the town centre via Westgate Street proceed over the roundabout onto Out Westgate.
