Basically timber-framed; rendered front; slate roof with a paired modillion eaves soffit and a richly decorated plaster frieze below it. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and cellars. 8 window range: sashes in flush cased frames, those on the 1st storey without glazing-bars; 9-pane to the 2nd storey. A moulded stucco band with acanthus-leaf decoration runs below the 2nd-storey windows. Below the 1st-storey windows a continuous row of cast-iron guard rails. 10 windows and 2 doors to the ground storey, arranged 4:1:3:1:3. The windows are set into a semicircular-headed arcade with enriched keystones. Between the windows are polished pink granite columns, added in 1873, with ornate 'Romanesquoid' capitals. 6 Corinthian pilasters spaced across the front have the capitals, variously ornamented with acanthus leaves, vine leaves and grapes, picked out in bright colours. INTERIOR: the extensive cellars have no readily identifiable medieval features. Considerable modernising to interior. (BOE: Pevsner N: Radcliffe E: Suffolk: London: 1974-: 149).
