12, The Green

No. 12 The Green is a house dating from the late medieval period, featuring a 16th-century cross-wing. It has one storey, while the cross-wing has one and a half storeys with attics, and it includes three windows. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof. A 16th-century axial chimney made of red brick is located in the cross-passage of the earlier open hall. The house has 19th-century and mid-20th-century casement windows, along with a boarded entrance door from the 20th century. The medieval coupled-rafter roof was rebuilt in the late 16th or early 17th century and includes clasped purlins. The cross-wing features a coupled rafter roof, with an open truss that has arch-braces lap-jointed to the tie-beam, which is an archaic jointing method for this period in Suffolk.
