Description

14 and 15 Westgate Street are a pair of early 19th-century houses located in Bury St Edmunds. They are constructed of flint and white brick, topped with a plain tiled roof that features a brick dentilled eaves cornice. The east end wall is plastered in the gable.

The buildings are two storeys high, with attics and cellars. They have a two-window range, featuring 12-pane sash windows in flush cased frames with flat gauged arches. There are two doorways, both set in panelled reveals with reeded pilasters and flat cornices: No. 14 has a four-panel door, while No. 15 has a six-panel door with the top two panels glazed. Each house has two gabled dormers with fluted bargeboards, which contain two-light small-paned casement windows. A large central chimney stack is faced in flint with brick dressings.

Inside, No. 15 has a brick-lined cellar, which was formerly equipped with a fireplace and is now used as a room. There is a timber-framed partition wall between the two houses, with very small main beams. The chimney stack is made of re-used Tudor brick, and the ground storey fireplace features a shallow segmental brick arch. Additionally, a 19th-century rear extension to No. 15 includes an upper 16-pane sash window in a flush cased frame.
