Description
The Belfast Linen Company and Nationwide Anglia Building Society is an early 19th-century building located on the west side of Buttermarket in Bury St Edmunds. It is divided into a shop and an office. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a slate roof that features a modillion eaves cornice.
The exterior consists of three storeys with a five-window range, all of which are sash windows. The first storey has 8-pane sashes with stucco shouldered architraves and curved cornices supported by console brackets. The second storey windows have single vertical glazing bars. There is a raised brick band between the first and second storeys. The ground storey has two 20th-century shop fronts.
Number 11 has a rear range from the 18th century that faces Skinner Street, constructed of 19th-century random flint with red brick dressings and featuring a half-hipped mansard roof. The windows and doors have segmental arches, and there are 20th-century dormers.
The interior of both ranges does not contain any notable features.
