Description
59 and 60 Guildhall Street are a pair of early 19th-century houses located in Bury St Edmunds. They are constructed of white brick and feature 20th-century plain tiles on the roof. The buildings have two storeys and include a part cellar, with two end chimney stacks.
On the upper storey, there are four windows: two outer 6-pane sash windows set in plain reveals and two central 4-pane single casement windows from the 20th century in flush frames. The ground storey has two 12-pane sash windows with plain reveals and flat brick arches above. The entrance features paired 6-panel doors with sunk panels, the top two of which are glazed, all framed by moulded wood architraves and topped with flat cornice hoods.
Both houses have a long 20th-century rear addition in white brick. Inside, only No. 59 has a cellar, and there are no features from before the early 19th century. No. 60 contains two matching reeded fireplace surrounds that are likely original.
