Linnet House

Linnet House is a house located in Bury St Edmunds, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It features a timber-framed and rendered structure with plaintiled roofs and a prominent wood modillion cornice on the main facade. The building has an L-shaped form, with a long rear range.

The exterior consists of two storeys and attics, with a five-window range made up of 12-pane sashes in flush cased frames. A plaque beneath the central upper window commemorates Henry Crabb Robinson, who lived from 1775 to 1867. The slightly recessed central entrance door has eight panels, with the top two glazed, and is framed by a moulded architrave topped with a flat cornice hood supported by console brackets. An external chimney stack made of Tudor brick with a plain shaft is located on the north gable wall. Additionally, there is a small two-storey extension on the north gable wall that has a hipped roof and French windows on the ground floor. The long two-storey rear wing includes single-storey lean-to additions along its north side, featuring some small-paned sash windows and small-paned two-light casements. There is also a large internal chimney stack. The interior has not been inspected.
