15, Crown Street

15 Crown Street is a house located in Bury St Edmunds, dating from the 16th century and later, with extensions and a front added in the early 19th century. The building is timber-framed, faced in white brick, and has a rendered rear, topped with 20th-century plain tiles. It has a complex form with several rear extensions, including a small hipped wing that projects from the south end of the front. An internal chimney stack features a plain white brick shaft.

The exterior consists of two storeys and attics, with a three-window range overall. The white brick front has a high panelled parapet and a heavy moulded stucco cornice and frieze. The windows, all 12-pane sashes set in plain reveals with flat gauged arches and projecting stone sills, are enclosed by shallow panels with plain flat pilasters, except for one blank window and one upper window on the north side of the wing, which has a flush cased frame. A segmental-headed dormer features a small-paned window. The entrance door is set within a distyle porch at the angle of the front and the wing, supported by fluted Doric columns and topped with a heavy plain entablature.

At the rear, there are two small gabled wings with plain bargeboards, as well as a two-storey extension made of brick and flint, part rendered, with a shallow-pitched slate roof. This extension has a datestone in the gable end reading 'I.M. 1844', likely referring to James Miller, as noted in White's Directory of Suffolk from that year.

Inside, the cellar walls include kidney flint and stone blocks, with a semicircular arched ceiling made of Tudor brick. The above-ground layout was significantly remodeled in the early 19th century when the internal chimney stack was added. Several 18th-century softwood beams are present, and on the north side, the frame overlaps with No. 14. Part of one 16th-century main beam features a double ogee moulding.
