II*
A well known Suffolk Inn known to have been an inn under the same name since at least 1580 when it was marked on a manor map of that date. It has been much restored and two cottages on the south end have been rebuilt in C17 style with a jettied upper storey and incorporated into the Bull Inn. Two storeys. The original Inn has a cross wing at the south end. The main block has a jettied upper storey at different levels and the cross wing is underbuilt.
The timber-framing is exposed, with some carving. Much of the cross wing is of modern construction. The windows are modern restorations in C16-C17 style with three, four and five-light mullioned and transomed casements with leaded lights. The jettied upper storey continues on the north side and there are two large external chimney stacks, one with two octagonal shafts. The ground storey has underbuilt bays. The north-west corner has a heavy corner post. A courtyard at the rear is enclosed by wings to the east and south. Roof tiled, with an original chimney stack at the south end of the cross wing (formerly an external stack).
The interior has original features, much restored.
