Summary - WEAVERS HOUSE THE STREET WOOLPIT BURY ST EDMUNDS IP30 9SA
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Historic murals, walled garden and modern kitchen ideal for village family life.
Grade II listed timber-framed house dating circa 1450
A rare surviving timber-framed house dating to circa 1450, this Grade II listed semi offers characterful living for a modern family. Large, versatile rooms include three reception spaces and a loft conversion ideal for guests or a home office. Restored medieval murals, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace create a striking historic interior, while a bespoke triple-aspect kitchen with Rangemaster and walk-in pantry provides everyday practicality.
Outside, a private walled garden with patio, pergola and summerhouse offers a sheltered spot for children and entertaining; a detached garage provides off-street parking. Practical extras include a log burner, two contemporary bathrooms and fast broadband — useful for remote working. Local life centres on a thriving village with excellent primary and secondary schooling, amenities and easy road and rail links to larger towns.
Important considerations: the house’s Grade II listing protects many original features and will restrict alterations; any work will need listed-building consent and specialist trades, which can add cost and lead times. As with many long-lived period properties, ongoing maintenance should be expected to preserve timber framing, finishes and historic decorations. The plot is relatively small despite the generous internal space.
For a family seeking a distinctive home where historic detail meets modern comfort, this property combines rare architectural interest with practical village living. Buyers should factor in listed-building responsibilities and routine conservation upkeep when considering purchase.
