Gipping House

Gipping House is a shop and flat located on Station Road in Stowmarket, dating from the early 19th century. An attic storey was added in the 1980s. The building is constructed of gault brick and features a roof clad in asbestos slate. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a three-window front. A late 20th-century door is positioned to the left, replacing a former sash window. The centre of the building showcases a mid-19th century plate-glass shopfront with a central entrance, and to the right, there is a two-panelled door beneath a simple fanlight. On the first floor, three sash windows are present, two of which have 6/6 glazing bars set under segmental arches, while the third has 4/4 glazing. The late 20th-century mansard roof features three dormers on the north face, each with sash windows. A fragment of the original slate gabled roof remains on the west side, and there is a gault brick chimney stack.
