chimney, and later. Timber-framed and plastered, with rusticated quoins of
c.1681 and coved eaves cornice. Plaintiled roofs, the wings hipped. External
early C17 chimneys of red brick with diaper-patterned terracotta friezes
around base of shafts. (the date 1681 in plaster upon one chimney indicates a
remodelling date). An axial chimney of red brick at centre of main range.
C19 flat roofed dormers with sashes. Half-H plan: a 3-window main range, with
set-forward wings to left and right. 2 storeys and attics. Sashes probably
of c.1681: pairs of 24-light small-paned sashes linked by a mullion; a rare
survival in Suffolk, although most or all of the sashes are C19 or C20
replacements. Flush frames and square panes with thick glazing bars. Central
entrance with giant Doric pilasters and segmental pediment: a 6-panelled
entrance door with pediment was restored c.1980 (a 2 storey flat-roofed C19
porch-obscuring the earlier entrance was removed at this time). Interior
believed to have C17/C18 panelling, and some panelling of C17 with arcaded
overmantel. A rear extension of 1835 (later remodelled) together with
extensive wrought iron verandahs was demolished c.1980. Partial medieval
moat.
