Warwick House

Warwick House is a house located on Debenham High Street, dating from the early 16th century for the front range and a later 16th century wing at the rear. The facade was updated in the late 18th century. It features a timber frame with roughcast render and a plain tiled roof, and it stands two storeys tall. The former jetty extends to the street, and the symmetrical facade has two bays. The windows are sash style, with 9 panes on the first floor and 12 panes on the ground floor. The doorway has a six-panel raised and fielded door, with the upper two panels glazed.

Inside, the front range consists of a hall and service cells, which included a shop. There is a single two-bay room on the upper floor, showcasing good intact studding. The front wall has been pushed forward on the ground floor, preserving the old studs. There is evidence of a shop doorway at the extreme left and an oriel window in the hall. The solid-tread stair, originally in the service end, has been repositioned in the rear wing. The hall ceiling features closely spaced plain joists and heavy braces to an open truss. The roof has a plain crown post with two-way bracing.

The three-bay rear wing has widely spaced studs, plain ceiling joists, and two cambered open tie beams, with an intact queen-post roof. There is a stack between the two wings, likely contemporary with the rear wing, featuring an open fireplace at the rear and a blocked hall fireplace that retains the old lintel.
