House For Sale £575,000
Garland Street, Bury St. Edmunds IP33

A unique detached property occupying a desirable town centre position having undergone a skilled and extensive restoration in 2005 creating a wonderful contemporary home which also has the potential to be re-configured according to your own lifestyle. It has a beautifully light and airy ambience due to the higher than average ceilings on the ground floor as well as the fabulous vaulted ceilings on the first floor.

Expanses of stripped pine wood floors with underfloor heating run the entirety of the first floor and revamped factory windows hark back to its industrial roots. Of particular note is the spacious ground floor bedroom accommodation with fitted closet and wardrobes; magnificent open-plan vaulted principal living space, engineering dramatic areas of volume and awash with natural light; an inspiring mezzanine study space and roof terrace with spectacular 360 degree rooftop views with potential to elongate further, if required. There is scope to convert the studio space into a third bedroom, making use of the first floor bathroom, in addition to existing plumbing and counter level electrics to re-instate a kitchen.

Outside
