10, Cullum Road

No. 10 Cullum Road is a house in Bury St Edmunds with an early 17th century core, featuring a 19th and 20th century exterior that was restored in 1994 and 1995. The building is timber-framed, with some sections replaced by red brick; the ground storey is rendered while the rear wing is exposed. The upper storey at the rear is rendered in panels that previously showed traces of red ochre coloring. A red brick chimney stack was added to the south gable during the restoration. The roofs are covered with plaintiles, and there is a chimney stack with a truncated shaft located just within the frame at the north end.

The house has two storeys. The upper windows are all 20th century, featuring three-light timber casements with a single horizontal bar for the lights. Two single-storey lean-to extensions with slate roofs were added to the front in 1994. A heavily weathered cambered collar in the north gable indicates the original side-purlin roof.

Inside, the ground storey reveals exposed timbers within the two-and-a-half bays on the south side. The ceiling features square-section joists and deep, relatively narrow main beams, with the main posts on the rear wall still intact. An original partition wall has been removed. On the upper storey, a change in floor level at the north end indicates that the two sides of the building were constructed at different times. At the south end, there is one truss with a cambered tie-beam supported by long arched braces, main posts with shallow jowls, studding along the front wall with arched braces, and the position of an original window.
