Coggeshall House

Coggeshall House is a house dating from the 14th and 16th centuries, with alterations made in 1897. It features a timber frame that is plastered with exposed imitation framing, and is partly clad with red brick in Flemish bond with stone dressings. The main range faces northwest and includes axial stacks at the right end and to the right of the center, along with an internal rear stack near the left end. There is a lower one-bay range to the right and a 19th-century lean-to extension beyond, which is weatherboarded with a slate roof. A large extension in Tudor style is located at the rear left.

The house is two storeys tall. On the ground floor, there are three sashes with chamfered stone surrounds and brick hood moulds from 1897. The first floor features three square oriels with three transomed lights each, supported by four plain brackets, and topped with rectangular leading, gabled roofs, carved bargeboards, pendants, and finials, all from 1897. Additionally, there are three casements with rectangular leading. The main door, positioned to the left of center, has four linenfold panels, a Tudor head with carved spandrels, and a moulded stone surround, all from 1897. There is a plain door at the right end of the main range, which has a plain overlight and a double-chamfered stone surround. A carved wooden fascia from 1897 is also present. Both roofs are hipped, and each stack features two octagonal shafts in Tudor style. The right gable of the main range has carved bargeboards, a finial, and a pendant, all from 1897.

The front elevation is clad with brick up to the first-floor level, likely indicating a full-length jetty that is underbuilt, with imitation framing above in the early 17th-century West Midlands style. The entire house has been altered in Tudor style, both inside and out, in 1897, leaving little of the original framing visible. Jowled posts are present in both ranges, and there are chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops in both ranges, dating from the late 16th century. The short right range has exposed plain joists of horizontal section and deep wall bracing with ogee curvature, which is trenched into the studs, similar to that of No. 30, Church Street. The main range has some original framing exposed in the upper part of one cross-wall, with near-straight bracing trenched into the studs.
