Description

The Suffolk Punch Public House is a public house built between 1936 and 1937 by Cautley and Barefoot of Ipswich. It features red brick construction with stone dressings and a plain-tile roof, designed in the Jacobethan style. The building is located on a corner site and has two storeys with a four-window range facing Norwich Road, including a canted corner. The windows are stone mullions with leaded lights and hood moulds, with taller windows featuring transoms on the ground floor. The canted bay on the corner adds to its architectural interest. The front elevation has projecting elements and stone-coped gables with finials. A moulded round-arched doorway with panelled double doors provides the main entrance. The front facing Cromer Road is similar but longer. At the center of the roof ridge is an elaborate clock tower, which has a lower section with blind arcading, clock faces, and a tall pyramidal roof. Inside, the bar areas have been opened out but still retain original woodwork and panelling. The staircase features turned balusters, and there is a first-floor function room with a fireplace.
