St Edmunds Brewery, a Grade II listed building, offers a unique holiday let experience in the historic old town conservation area of Downham Market. St Edmunds Brewery was built in 1868 and beer was brewed here until 1946. In 1961 it was converted into Sherwoods Motorcycles and traded until the late 80's. It then became a gym and then a beauty salon until 2022, when we bought it for residential conversion. We have tried to keep a rustic appearance by using reclaimed timber throughout, handmade beds and tables, old barrels etc. which all add to the charm and coziness. The whole ground floor is a large open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge with rustic lighting, comfy chairs and sofas, and a large smart TV. The three large triple glazed windows look out onto Paradise Road which is fairly quiet and has a 20mph speed limit. All three windows have mirror film so people cannot see in. Tea, coffee, sugar and hopefully milk, if we remember, is supplied for your first few cuppas to help you get settled in, and we may even leave something alcoholic. There is a large selection of board games should you wish to play. Upstairs has two large king size bedrooms and one single room all with colourful art. The double rooms have wardrobes and a dressing table, whereas the single room just has a dresser. All bed linen is obviously provided. The blue bathroom has an 'L' shape bath with shower over, basin and toilet, and the green bathroom has a shower cubicle, basin and toilet. Towels and hand soap are included. Unfortunately there is no parking next to the property but two free safe carparks are within one minute walk. We can possibly cater for motorcycles and cycles though, in our CCTV covered gated courtyard behind.

My name is Ady and my partner is Kaz, we've lived next door where the brewery owners used to live for almost 30 years, but St Edmunds Brewery is totally self contained so it's completely private. This is our first time owning a holiday let so please be gentle, and we look forward to welcoming visitors to our lovely little gingerbread town.
