Eastgate Cottage

Eastgate Cottage is a cottage ornee built in 1862, located on Eastgate Street in Bury St Edmunds. The walls are made of a mix of knapped flint and small stone blocks, with stone dressings and bands of dark knapped flint in the gable ends, topped with fishscale tiles. The building has a T-shaped plan and is two storeys high. It was constructed on land donated by the Earl of Bristol.

The cottage features a three-window range, with all windows being small-paned cast-iron casements. On the first storey, there are two 2-light windows flanking a smaller central window, with the outer windows beneath small hipped gablets. The ground storey has two 3-light windows with segmental heads and segmental stone arches that include keystones. A central entrance door is set within a steeply-pitched gabled porch that has a stone arched doorway.

The east gable features a canted bay on the ground storey with a steeply pitched roof, and above it is a 2-light segmental headed window. The bargeboards are pierced and shaped, and at the apex of the gable, there is the Bristol crest along with the date 1862. The cottage has four tall chimney-stacks with rectangular bases and narrower shafts, each topped with two terracotta pots. The interior has not been inspected.
