15, 17 AND 19, BURY STREET

This property comprises three shops at 15, 17, and 19 Bury Street, Stowmarket, dating to the early 17th century and subsequently altered. The building is timber-framed and roughly plastered, with a plain tile roof. It is two storeys high, featuring a jettied first floor. The shops at numbers 15 and 17 have 20th-century plate-glass shopfronts, while number 19 has a 20th-century shopfront. The first floor windows consist of three early 19th-century sash windows, each with an unusual glazing bar arrangement; the central vertical bar is repositioned, appearing as the bottom bar of the lower sash and the top bar of the upper sash. A hip roof is present, with a chimney stack located to the right of the centre. Two rear cross wings extend from the main structure.
