Description
Tyndale House is a house dated 1900, now part of Felixstowe College. It features a red brick construction with red sandstone dressings and applied timber frame decoration, topped with plain tile roofs. The building has two storeys and an attic, consisting of five bays, with the outer and central bays gabled and projecting forward. The outer bays display applied timber framing on the gables, while the central bay has a similarly treated upper storey and gable. The windows are mullion and transom style with leaded panes, some featuring colored glass, and are surrounded by sandstone with moulded heads. The central bay has two ground floor windows with rubbed and moulded brick aprons and a first-floor oriel window. The outer doorway is arched and made of rubbed and moulded brick and sandstone. Moulded brick bands and a decorative plaster frieze are also present, along with deep gable eaves supported by carved wooden brackets and tall grouped octagonal brick stacks. The garden front includes a timber Jacobean style verandah between the two forward gabled bays. The east wall has a tile-hung gable, and the west side features a turreted bay.
Inside, there is a panelled hall with elongated pedimented doorcases and panelled doors. The open string staircase has squared carved newels with obelisk finials and turned balusters. The sitting room boasts highly decorative panelling and plasterwork in panels between fluted pilasters below a carved frieze, along with a plaster cornice featuring vine leaf and egg and dart mouldings. The fireplace has a 16th-century stone mantel with a decorative brick and tile back, and the heavily carved overmantel, mostly from the 16th century, is supported by fluted and gadrooned pilasters. An extension was added to the rear in 1984.
