Outside
The house is approached along an expansive circular driveway providing plenty of vehicle parking, turning space and access to the adjoining double garaging. To the front are well-stocked gardens, screened by a variety of mature trees and a double hedge giving a good deal of privacy. The south facing rear gardens are a particular feature, being mostly laid to lawn and stocked with an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants, whilst providing a high level of seclusion and privacy. Beautifully maintained hedging borders two sides and the rear boundary directly backs onto the magnificent Hardwick Heath.

Location
Hardwick Lane is one of the most desirable areas within the town and is very convenient for access to the West Suffolk Hospital and town centre. The property backs directly onto the magnificent Hardwick Heath and is close to well-regarded schools and sports facilities, uniquely independent shops, well known high street stores, 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. 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 house.
