Grundisburgh House

Grundisburgh House is a mid-19th century house located on Woodbridge Road, Grundisburgh. The house is constructed of white Flemish bond brick with a slate roof. The entrance front is symmetrical, with five bays. The central bay features pilasters at both first-floor and ground-floor levels. A central entrance door, half-glazed with a panelled surround featuring lion heads above, fluting on either side, and a decorated fanlight with a figurehead keystone, is accessed via a flat-roofed porch with Roman Doric columns. Flanking the entrance are ground-floor windows with round heads, intersecting tracery, brick voussoirs, and two lights. The first floor incorporates five windows, each featuring twelve panes arranged in three rows of four. Above these windows is a heavy decorative cornice incorporating cogged bands, projecting headers, and a terracotta trail. Projecting semi-octagonal bay windows are situated to either side of the ground floor. The left side of the house has a semi-octagonal bay with round-arched two-light windows similar to those on the entrance front. To the left of this bay are a tripartite window and two sash windows, each with twelve panes arranged in three rows of four. The first floor displays further windows with twelve panes; above this is a deep cornice with moulded bricks and a projecting portion containing tripartite windows to the ground floor at the right, a central sash window with twelve panes, lateral lights with four panes each, and a glazed door at the far left. The first floor presents a tripartite window set in an oriel with a cogged band below, and a sash window with twelve panes to its left. A service wing is located at the right, featuring randomly distributed fenestration. A canted bay with a hipped roof, mirroring that on the left flank, is present at the left.

Inside, the staircase hall features a staircase with a wrought iron balustrade, a moulded mahogany hand rail with a wreathed curtail, moulded door surrounds with ribbed side panels and patterae in the upper corners, and a heavily moulded cornice. Neo-classical chimney pieces are found in the two other ground floor rooms.
