Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk

A Grade II listed town house in this prime location, within the medieval grid - offered with no onward chain.


Situated within a prime location close to the town centre, 51 College Street is an attractive three-storey Grade II listed town house. The elegant gault brick façade hides a much earlier well-proportioned timber framed building and suggests that 51 College Street was once part of a larger building, believed to have been a school.

The accommodation comprises a panelled entrance door leading to an entrance lobby with door leading to the sitting room with shuttered sash window to the front, original division open studwork leading to the stairs and dining area, an open fireplace flanked by a cupboard and shelving and exposed high ceiling timbers.

Beyond this there is the dining area with a feature fireplace with overmantel and which previously was fitted with a wood burner. A glazed door leads into a fitted kitchen with a range of base and eye level units, four ring electric hob and Neff electric oven, Belfast sink, tiled flooring. From the kitchen there is a door with steps down to a large cellar, providing extensive storage space and potential for various other uses.

The stairs lead to the first-floor landing and to the main bedroom and a spacious bathroom fitted with panelled bath with shower and mixer tap over, pedestal wash hand basin, low level wc and an airing cupboard housing a Vaillant wall-mounted gas-fired boiler.

A further flight of stairs from this landing leads to the second floor, to the spacious landing/bedroom/study area and a second bedroom with built-in hanging cupboard and which benefits from views over the rooftops and St Mary’s Church spire.
