Doorways the Cottage the Street

A terrace of three cottages, originally a single house, located on The Street in Woolpit. Dating to the 15th and 17th centuries, the structure comprises two cells of what was once an open hall house, with the left-hand (parlour) cell added in the 17th century. The building is two stories high and features four windows. It is timber-framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof that was formerly thatched. A narrow axial chimney built of red bricks dates to the 17th century, while a chimney at the right end is from the 19th century. The windows are primarily small-pane sashes from the 19th century, with 20th-century casements on the right. There are three 19th-century boarded entrance doors and one with four panels. The original 15th-century building had a lower eaves line, visible above the first-story windows. The medieval roof remains intact, exhibiting smoke-encrusted coupled rafters.
