Description
This is an early 16th-century house located on The Street in Woolpit. It has two storeys and three windows, originally planned around two rooms. The house is timber-framed, with the frame fully exposed and plaster infill panels. The first floor is jettied at the front, featuring close-studding with long arch wind braces at the corners. The jetty has a moulded and embattled bressumer (a beam) above and a girth below, in two orders. The roof is covered in concrete plain tiles and has two gabled dormers; one was built in the early 17th century with a deep moulded and dentilled tiebeam and cornice. Both dormers have 20th-century casement windows. The house has a 17th-century axial chimney, originally of narrow red brick, with the upper section rebuilt in the 19th century using red brick. Various 19th-century windows are present, including a small-paned sash and casements with leaded glazing on the upper floor. A 19th-century four-panelled entrance door has a small fanlight above. Evidence of earlier features destroyed by later alterations remains: chamfered brackets beneath the jetty originally supported pilaster shafts with carved capitals (one remains on the right). An original four-light window in the hall has moulded mullions and arches with sunk spandrels at the head of each light. To the left of this window are traces of a four-centred arched cross-entry doorway. To the right, there's evidence for a prominent oriel window that would have lit the hall, with a deep window sill designed to support another oriel. Boarded garage doors are now located on the site of the former service cell. A single-storey extension with a concrete plain-tiled roof and a 19th-century internal end chimney of gault brick is situated to the right.
