Three double bedrooms across upper floors

A rare mixed-use opportunity on Bungay’s popular Earsham Street, this Grade II listed mid-terrace combines a ground-floor retail frontage with three double bedrooms above. The shop area retains large display glazing, wooden counters and a characterful safe — ideal for a live-work business, small retail operation or rental income stream. The house benefits from original period features throughout and gas central heating.
Accommodation is practical and versatile: retail area and lobby to the ground floor, sitting room and kitchen to the rear, two double bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor, with a further double bedroom on the second floor. A paved courtyard garden provides a low-maintenance outdoor space with access from Chaucer Street. The current layout has been adapted for commercial use but can be reinstated as a domestic kitchen to suit full residential occupation.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment or conversion plans. The town-centre location comes with above-average local crime statistics to note, and the plot is small with compact external space. That said, it is offered freehold, with no onward chain and low council tax banding — attractive features for an investor or buyer seeking a central live-work property in a historic market town.
This house is best suited to buyers who value period character and high-street presence and who can work within listed-building constraints. It presents clear potential for rental return or a boutique retail/café with private living accommodation above, subject to any necessary consent for change of use or works.
