A beautiful and charming Grade II Listed property dating back to the Plantagenet period, believed to be constructed in 1460 during the reign of King Henry VI, making it one of the oldest dwellings in Bury St. Edmunds. The property still features an abundance of retained original character features throughout whilst benefitting from some improvements and alterations as well as an extension to the rear, with some remaining period features to include Jacobean wood panelling, working grand open fireplaces with back to back hearths, comb pargeting, exposed beams and a jettied and gabled cross-wing of four bays which are notable features of a Medieval hall house.
Internally the front entrance door opens into a generously sized open plan living and dining room offering ample space for furniture with plenty of character features including a working open fireplace, exposed beams and decorative wood panelling, giving access to the kitchen which is well-appointed with a range of units and worktop space providing good space for storage and appliances with a Belfast sink basin and a patio door to the rear courtyard. A spacious hall features another working open fireplace with sets of stairs to the cellar and to the first floor and French doors to the rear courtyard. There is a lounge to the rear which could be used for various other uses such as a guest bedroom, and off this room is a small lobby with a storage cupboard and access to a contemporary bathroom suite with a shower over the bath.
To the first floor a large landing gives access to the bedrooms and has a set of stairs to the second floor. The main bedroom is a spacious double sized room with front facing window and features a high pitched ceiling decorated with exposed beams, a beautiful hanging chandelier and a window to the second floor. There are another two double sized bedrooms, one of which also has a range of exposed beams and a part pitched ceiling, and the other benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes to one wall making it an ideal dressing room, gym or home office. There is a further contemporary bathroom suite completing the first floor accommodation.
To the second floor there is a landing with a storage cupboard and eaves storage and giving access to the remaining two bedrooms, with the main bedroom providing plenty of space for furniture with a pitched ceiling, exposed beams and built-in wardrobes, and the fifth bedroom is single sized also with a pitched ceiling and exposed beams with a Velux skylight window and potential to be used as a home office.
Externally the property benefits from two off-road parking spaces to the side in addition to permit parking which is available, and an arched gate gives access to the beautifully presented private walled courtyard which is L-shaped and offers ample space for sitting and dining with a southerly aspect and a range of plants, shrubs and ivy to some of the perimeter walls.
The property is located in a central position with easy access along Garland Street to the town centre, which is home to a great range of shops, amenities, historical attractions and excellent road and public transport links further afield to the likes of London, Cambridge, Newmarket and Ipswich.
