75, Guildhall Street

75 Guildhall Street is a house located in Bury St Edmunds, originally built in the 16th century with rear extensions from the 18th century and a front section dated 1772. The building features a timber frame and is jettied along the street front, with a stucco finish and rusticated quoins on the ground floor. It has a slate roof with a moulded wood eaves soffit. The rear of the house includes two three-storey wings that are roughcast with tiled mansard roofs.

The exterior is two storeys high, with attics and cellars. It has a two-window range with 12-pane sash windows in moulded flush frames and two roof-lights on the front slope of the roof. The entrance features a recessed six-panel door accessed by two stone steps, framed by a fluted surround with panelled reveals, and topped with a rectangular fanlight that has ornamental glazing. The rear wings have three large 12-pane sash windows in flush cased frames on the first storey.

Inside, the cellar beneath the front and part of the rear range has timber ceilings of various dates and some flint walling. The front range consists of two bays with a small extension at the north end, where a date panel reads 'Trevall 1772'. The main beams on the ground floor have double ogee mouldings and rudimentary leaf stops, with a small section of exposed joists that are roll-moulded. There is an original five-light diamond mullioned window on the rear wall, although the corresponding window on the upper storey has had its mullions removed. A small 18th-century fireplace surround on the rear wall features an eared architrave.

On the upper storey, much of the rear wall has been cut away. The end truss on the south side has long arched braces (one of which is missing) connected to a cambered tie-beam without stud infill. The remains of a crown-post roof are present, although the main crown-post has been removed and later side purlins have been added. The attic windows retain their original cast-iron fittings, and an early 19th-century attic stair features stick balusters and fluted mouldings on the newel posts.
