Superbly located in the heart of the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, this spacious apartment has one bedroom with a comfortable king size bed and ample built-in storage, a large sitting room, a kitchen/dining room and a completely re-fitted bathroom. It has a private front door (no communal area) up a short flight of three steps and the benefit of a parking space right outside the door. Please note that many properties advertising themselves as being in Bury St Edmunds are, in reality, some distance from the town but this apartment is the real deal and everything this exceptionally attractive and historic town has to offer is right on your doorstep! There is a futon-style sofa bed in the sitting room to accommodate up to two extra guests complete with all necessary bedding (ADDITIONAL CHARGE PAYABLE, PLEASE ENQUIRE).
Caroline & Amos welcome you to stay in their apartment. We LOVE Bury St Edmunds having lived and worked in the town for the past 30 years, we would be happy to recommend places to visit and eat during your stay and you will be able to contact us if needed. You will have the freedom to come and go as you please, with access details sent to you prior to arrival.
This town centre location means that all the historic highlights of this fine, medieval market town are a matter of moments from the apartment, including the stunning floral displays in the Abbey Gardens. Close by are the Arc shopping centre, and the exceptional newly-built entertainment venue, the Apex, which attracts world class performers who appreciate its excellent acoustics. There is also the notable Theatre Royal, a rare Georgian playhouse, owned by the National Trust, popular with visiting theatre companies and local productions alike. And then there are the many excellent restaurants, shops and bars and the historic Greene King brewery where the tours include spectacular panoramic views of views of the town and beyond from the top of the brew house as well as the chance to taste the iconic and lesser known ales. Bury St Edmunds is situated in the heart of East Anglia and it is therefore the ideal place from which to explore the many delights of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, including a number of National Trust properties such as the handsome, palladian Ickworth House and the Tudor splendour of Melford Hall. Newmarket Racecourse is just a 20min drive away.
