Karrelbrook House

Karrelbrook House is a pair of houses, now divided into three office units, with a core dating to the 16th century and a front elevation from the mid-19th century. The building is timber-framed and largely encased in white brick, with some stone dressings. It has a slate roof with a wide mutule eaves soffit.

The exterior features three storeys and cellars, with rusticated stone quoins marking the ends of the facade. The first storey has a six-window range of sash windows with a single vertical glazing bar, set in shallow reveals with moulded stone surrounds and projecting segmental architraves supported by ornate brackets. The top storey, a 19th-century addition, features six-light sashes in similar stone surrounds. Four twelve-pane sash windows on the ground storey are set into shallow brick recesses with segmental-arched heads. Two six-panel entrance doors are topped by plain rectangular fanlights. Number 118 has a substantial stone doorcase with four columns supporting a moulded entablature and a wide, broken Ionic pediment. Number 118b has a simpler doorcase with a moulded and bracketed pediment. Both doors are approached by stone steps. A rear range, running parallel to the front, has a fully hipped pantiled roof.

The interior of number 118 includes a ground floor room with full early-18th century panelling, and main ceiling beams with moulded boxing. Number 118b's ground floor has chamfered main beams with run-out stops, and evidence of an underbuilt jetty. The front wall is doubled, displaying remnants of panelling and a dado. Internal window shutters have raised fielded panels. A fine, 19th-century cast-iron range with double ovens bears the name W. Juggard, of Bury St Edmunds.

Karrelbrook House is designated at Grade II for its significance as an example of a 16th-century timber-framed pair of houses with 19th-century alterations, and for its survival in largely original condition, retaining good quality 18th and 19th-century fixtures and fittings.
