Description
Anselm Court, which includes numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, is a house that has been divided into four flats and is located on the west side of Athenaeum Lane in Bury St Edmunds. This building dates from the 17th century, with 18th-century and later alterations. It features a timber-framed structure with roughcast panels on the slightly projecting upper storey and red brick on the ground storey, likely covering a former jetty. The roof is tiled and has a mansard form at the rear, dating from the 20th century.
The building is two storeys high with attics, and the main facade faces Angel Hill. There is a two-storey extension on the north side with a single-pitched lean-to roof, which has plain render on the upper storey and continues the red brick from the main range on the ground storey. The principal upper storey has three 20th-century mullion and transom windows with diamond leading in the top lights and wooden aprons below. The extension features two sash windows with a single vertical bar in flush cased frames, and there are four similar windows across the ground storey. Additionally, there are two flat-headed dormers with two-light casement windows that have lozenge-shaped glazing bars. On the left side, there is a six-panel door with a moulded wood surround and a plain rectangular fanlight.
The building is included for its group value as part of the street scene on Angel Hill.
