Best town centre, Bury St Edmunds
Lifestyle website Muddy Stilettos has just named this gem of a market town the best place to live in Suffolk, for its combination of independent shops, theatres, a “fab foodie scene” and lovely medieval quarter. Little wonder that Weston Homes’ Tayfields development sold out super-fast. Happily, the developer loves this location so much it is now preparing another scheme which will bring just over 170 flats to the town centre.
