Description

Cobbold's Row is a row of six cottages, originally seven, built in the late 19th century, likely designed by Thomas Cotman for the Cobbold family. The cottages are constructed of red brick with a jettied and timber-framed first floor. The roofs feature plain tiles at the front and pantiles at the rear, with large and decorative central ridge and end stacks. The buildings showcase a vernacular revival style and are two storeys high.

The first floor has a twelve-window range consisting of single and two-light casements with glazing bars. Below, there are eleven similar windows, with two plank doors leading to No. 1, which is now a single dwelling, located to the left. Nos. 3 and 4 are positioned under a central arch with a gable above, while Nos. 5, 6, and 7 are to the right. The first floor framing features light scanning, with brick partitions expressed at intervals on the front. The cottages also have a jettied first floor, similar casements and doors, and a central wing with an outshut at the back.

Interiors are reported to retain original fireplaces and plank doors. This row of cottages is noted for its quality and forms part of a group of nearby listed buildings. Historically, it is believed that this row was converted from the maltings of a nearby Cobbold brewery, which is reflected in the name. The architect, Thomas Cotman, also designed Cranmer House in Felixstowe for the same family in 1885, and the stacks on both buildings are quite similar.
