An exceptional Grade II listed Georgian townhouse positioned on the medieval grid of Bury St Edmunds. The house retains abundant period detail — ornate cornicing, sash windows, original fireplaces and exposed timbers — arranged over three principal storeys plus cellarage and a flexible third floor for guests or home working. A walled courtyard, covered veranda, separate garden studio and access to a larger landscaped garden extend the living space outdoors in a rare town-centre setting.
The accommodation suits a family seeking character and central convenience: two formal reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen with garden access, multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms and extensive cellar storage. Rooftop views toward the Cathedral and an elegant façade add to the property’s curb appeal. Practical extras include a studio with plumbing, conservatory, and council permit parking availability.
Important selling considerations are straightforward and should be checked early. The house is Grade II listed and in a conservation area — any alterations will face restrictions and listed-status responsibilities. The larger landscaped garden is currently leased from the adjoining Guildhall and historical tenancy arrangements will need renegotiation; tenure notes also reference freehold but should be verified with legal counsel. Council Tax is high and the local recorded crime level is very high — factors for buyers to weigh when deciding on central living.
This is a high-character home with clear scope for careful modernisation while preserving historic fabric. It will most appeal to buyers who prioritise period detail and central location over turnkey suburban convenience, and who accept the practicalities of listed-building ownership and town-centre living.
