Description

Suffolk House and Country Flowers is a pair of houses, one of which includes shop premises, located on Queen Street in Stradbroke. The main block dates from the early 19th century, while there is older work at the rear of Suffolk House. Behind Country Flowers, there is a large range dated 'HTW 1900' at the apex of the gable, along with a single-storey wing to the left. The building is constructed of white brick, with the two bays on the left being colourwashed as part of Country Flowers. It features a hipped slated roof and a paired bracketed eaves cornice. The structure is two storeys high and has five windows with inset sashes and glazing bars, topped with flat brick arches. Suffolk House has a central doorway with a doorcase that includes half-round reeded jambs, a reeded architrave with corner roundels, a cornice, and a rectangular fanlight with geometric glazing bars above a six-panel door. Country Flowers features a late 19th-century shop front with mid-20th-century windows. There are three white brick chimney stacks on the building.
