Waveney Road, Bury St Edmunds

Property Insight
Set on the outskirts of Bury St Edmunds, this semi-detached house extends to approximately 1,039 sq ft and comes with a garage in a nearby block, offering a practical footprint for a family or those wanting room to grow. The layout is unusually versatile for the size, with two separate reception rooms and a further ground-floor study giving genuine flexibility for family life and working from home. Positioned in a settled residential part of town, close to open countryside on the edge of a thriving Suffolk market town, it is a home with space to make its own, and its guide price reflects a real opportunity for a buyer to put their own stamp on it.
The entrance hall runs through the centre of the ground floor, with stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the main living spaces. To the front, the lounge takes a window overlooking the road and is arranged around a brick fireplace, providing a comfortable main sitting room. The kitchen and dining room sit to the rear as a connected, dual-aspect space, with the kitchen fitted in wood-effect shaker-style units and laminate worktops, and ample room alongside for a dining table — a sociable spot for everyday family meals. Off the hall, the ground-floor study looks onto the garden and makes an ideal home office, with a separate cloakroom completing the ground floor.
Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms — two comfortable doubles and a third single or child's room — served by a first-floor shower room. Outside, the rear garden is a real asset: a generous, private plot laid largely to lawn, framed by mature planting and backing onto neighbouring gardens, with plenty of space for children, entertaining or landscaping to taste. A garage in a nearby block provides additional parking and storage. With flexible accommodation, a large garden and a convenient position on the edge of town, this is an appealing opportunity in a popular corner of West Suffolk.
