Description

This enchanting period home stands on the site of an 800-year-old medieval hospital, located near the grand gates of the Bury St. Edmunds Abbey. With a rich history dating back to 1220, the property has been a charitable place of hospitality, a leper hospital, and a stopover for pilgrimages. Despite its tumultuous past, including being dissolved by King Henry VIII, the property has remained a stunning example of Tudor architecture, with remnants of its original timber-frame core and a beautiful red brick chimney stack. The unique grade II* listed status is a testament to its historical significance. The property has been updated with a modern central heating system, and there is potential to extend the kitchen. The garden, framed by a majestic cedar tree, is a hidden oasis, with various pockets of intrigue ripe for the horticultural enthusiast. With endless interior design possibilities, this property is a true gem for those who appreciate history, romance, and the great outdoors.
