Springfield Road, Bury St Edmunds

Springfield Road is an exceptional Victorian town house occupying a highly convenient position close to the historic centre of Bury St Edmunds. Behind its handsome brick façade lies a remarkably generous and beautifully presented home, extending to approximately 3,600sq-ft, and combining the proportions and architectural character of the period with a wonderfully individual contemporary interior.
Arranged over three principal floors, with the additional cellar/cinema room, the house provides exceptionally versatile accommodation including two impressive reception areas, a spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining room, 5 bedrooms and well-appointed bathrooms. Period fireplaces, tall sash-style windows, stripped floorboards and generous ceiling heights sit comfortably alongside exposed brickwork, modern lighting and bold decorative touches, creating a house with considerable personality.
The entrance hall immediately establishes the character of the property, with its staircase rising through the house and a long sightline towards the rear. To either side are two particularly attractive reception rooms. The sitting room and family room are both beautifully proportioned, with bay windows and fireplaces.
Undoubtedly one of the defining features of the house is the kitchen/dining room. Designed as the social heart of the house, it combines industrial-designed kitchen cabinetry and a substantial island with generous areas for dining and informal living. Exposed brickwork introduces warmth and texture, while a series of attractive glazed doors opens onto the terrace and garden, creating an excellent relationship between inside and out.
Adding an entirely unexpected dimension is the striking monochrome artwork covering one wall of the kitchen: the work was created by internationally recognised British artist Mr Doodle, giving an already distinctive room a genuinely unique artistic element.
The cellar has been cleverly adapted to provide a dedicated cinema room, offering a completely different recreational space away from the main accommodation. The ground floor is completed by a useful utility room and WC.
The first floor provides three substantial bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive room with two sets of sash windows, fireplace, wardrobes and stylish en suite bathroom incorporating both a freestanding bath and separate shower. The two further first-floor bedrooms are served by the family shower room.
The accommodation continues to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms together with bedroom 6/study and further family bathroom.
Outside
To the rear is a delightful private garden, providing an excellent counterpoint to the scale of the house. A broad paved terrace immediately adjoining the kitchen creates a natural setting for outside dining and entertaining, beyond which the garden is principally laid to lawn with established planting and mature boundaries. Importantly for such a centrally located period property, 4 Springfield Road also benefits from a separate garage situated in adjacent Spring Lane, with rights of access from the garage across a neighbouring parcel of land to the rear garden gate.
Location
Springfield Road is particularly well placed for enjoying Bury St Edmunds on foot, with the town centre, schools and railway station all readily accessible. The postcode is approximately 1 km from Bury St Edmunds railway station. Bury St Edmunds itself is one of Suffolk's most attractive and historic market towns, centred around the celebrated Abbey Gardens and offering an excellent range of independent shops, restaurants, cafés and cultural amenities, together with good educational and transport links.
