Timber-framed buildings survey of Ipswich - A pair of two-bay houses, joined end to end, each ending onto and having use of the fireplaces on both sides of a large central stack. At a later date both buildings came into being part of one long range. The PH to the left of the stack is divided into two bays, the rear of the range comprises various extension buildings, the earliest apparently is a rear timber-fgramed structure behind the public bar. The extension to the side of this is probably later. The first floor has a series of room with a passageway linking all the rooms. The attic runs the entire length of the building and it is possible to see the original clasped purlin roof structure (S2).
