(Formerly listed as Eastgate Hall, LOWER GREEN)

15.11.54

II Former rectory. Early C19 with earlier core, perhaps of C17. Timber-framed, part clad in C19 gault mathematical tiles, part plastered. A band at first floor level of entrance front; dentilled eaves cornice. Plaintiled roofs, the front range hipped. Two early C19 chimneys, each with a group of four circular shafts of gault terracotta tiles, moulded in the C17 manner. Two storeys. Three windows. Small-paned C19 sashes, those at ground storey with sidelights. Two-storeyed semi-circular flat roofed bays were added in early C19 to either gable of the entrance front, with three sashes to each storey. Pair of early C19 half-glazed panelled entrance doors: Roman Doric portico porch with columns and flat entablature. The slightly lower rear service wing probably comprises the C17 hall range, and the attached crosswing was converted to form the entrance front in C19. The use of mathematical tiles is a rare feature in Suffolk.

Interior not examined.
