THE PROPERTY
No.4 Honey Hill is an attractive and deceptively spacious townhouse, with a delightful aspect looking over The Great Churchyard towards the Cathedral, Norman Tower and The Deanery, just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre and Abbey Gardens. Formerly the Coach and Horses public house, it underwent a complete and sympathetic restoration by the Bury Town Trust, carried out to a high standard by award-winning, specialist builders, FA Valiant & Son, and now comes to the market for the first time in 36 years. The handsome, colour washed Georgian façade conceals a much earlier past, its core being a 14th century house of mainly timber frame construction, some timbers from an even earlier 12th century building. The interior boasts a multitude of period features including what is believed to be a Georgian fireplace, exposed timbers and peg holes, and a medieval arched doorway. Although the property would now benefit from some modernisation, it offers generously proportioned accommodation of approaching 3000 square feet arranged over four floors, including a large two room cellar (circa 26’ x 15’ and 16’ x 12’).
A glazed entrance vestibule leads into the sitting room, featuring twin windows to the front aspect, an open fireplace and a range of shelving. A large opening leads through to the dining room, which also has a window to the front, a large cupboard and a door to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of base and wall units, twin sink units, integrated appliances, including a double oven, warming drawer, hob and plumbing for automatic appliances, a window overlooking the garden, French doors onto the garden’s terraced area and a back door. Continuing on the ground floor and leading off the inner hall is a shower/cloakroom, a large double cupboard, stairs leading to the first floor and a door to the cellar stairs.
On the first floor a landing leads to four good sized bedrooms with the master bedroom enjoying an en-suite shower room and along with two further bedrooms has beautiful views overlooking the tree-lined Great Churchyard. The rear bedroom has a double wardrobe and a window overlooking the south-facing rear garden. There is also a family bathroom with a rear aspect. From the back landing, further stairs lead to another landing area and into an attic room/bedroom with three Velux windows to the rear and a walk-in cupboard, which has water connected, ideal to convert into an en-suite bathroom (subject to the usual consents).
OUTSIDE
To the rear is an attractive, secluded garden, designed with a central lawned area, raised beds with flowering plants & shrubs and a brick paved terrace for alfresco dining. Enclosed, the garden features a striking brick and flint wall on the west boundary, creating a sun-trap and enjoys a good degree of privacy. A courtesy gate leads to the cartlodge parking, accessed via a gated shared driveway with the neighbour. The garden was entered in Hidden Gardens of Bury regularly and was published by Royal Horticultural Society.
