High Street, Ixworth, Bury St. Edmunds

We are pleased to offer this Grade II Listed period end of terrace property for sale. The property is situated in a prominent location on the pretty High Street close to all the village amenities. The current owner has been in residence for 49 years and has lovingly restored and maintained the property in keeping with the age and history of the building. The property was originally a single storey thatched Tudor meeting house. The function of the building changed into residential accommodation after the Pykerrel Inn was built as a coaching inn on the High Street. In 1650 a floor was put in to make another storey and extended to the right with a Dutch Gable end. It was originally two properties but now forms one home. The original front section of the building dates back to the early 16th Century and was extended to the side in the late 16 Century and again to the rear in Victorian times. There are a wealth of period features including a red brick Dutch gable end, inglenook fireplaces, wonderful beams and timbers, original wooden latch doors, leaded windows, wooden floorboards and red tiled floors. The property benefits from a wonderful large Dining Hall, Sitting Room, Kitchen, 2nd Kitchen/Utility Room, Bathroom, Galleried Landing and 4 Bedrooms. To the rear is a very pretty enclosed garden with an Outside WC and Good Size Workshop.
