Description
Gable End is part of a range of 17th to 18th century timber-framed houses located on the west side of Little St Mary's in Long Melford. The building has been renovated in the 20th century and stands two storeys high. The timber-framing is exposed on the first storey, although much of it has been renewed. It features a two-window range with 20th century casements. The roof is tiled and hipped at the north end. The southern part of the building was demolished in 1975 and rebuilt, incorporating former 19th century double-hung sash windows.
