75, HIGH STREET (See details for further address information)

No. 75 High Street is an estate agent's office and part of a shop with a dwelling above. It dates from the early or mid 16th century and has 19th-century alterations. The building is timber-framed and roughcast, topped with a plaintiled roof that features axial and rear chimneys made of red brick. It has two storeys and three windows. The front includes a pair of 20th-century shop windows flanking a half-glazed panelled doorway to No. 75. The right-hand bay is occupied by No. 77 High Street but is structurally part of No. 75. Inside, there is good unmoulded 16th-century timber-framing exposed, which shows evidence of a long-wall jetty towards the street. The roof features arch-braced trusses with a crownpost, and the posts are square with two-way bracing. Like several 16th-century houses in Needham Market, there is an unbraced tie-beam spanning the chamber above the hall, located approximately at its midpoint. There is also evidence of mullioned and shuttered windows. A rear wing to the right was added in the 17th century and significantly extended in the 18th and 19th centuries, now forming part of No. 77.
