WETHERDEN STOWMARKET ROAD TM 06 SW
4/232 - Nos 1 and 2 Rose Cottage
GV II
Two houses; built as one high-quality house c.1520-40 of which No.1 comprises the hall and No.2 a service cell. 2 storeys. 3 bays. Timber-framed and plastered; the framing is fully exposed along the front elevation, with plaster infill panels. The house was originally long-wall jettied towards the street; the ground storey walling was pushed forward (probably in C18) and plastered over to produce a flush facade (plaster removed mid C20). Plaintiled roof with C16 internal end chimney to left. Four late C18 3-light windows, the centre light containing a wrought iron casement. No.1 has a mid C20 entrance door with multiple panels. No.2 has a C19 4-panelled door. The externally-exposed framing shows enrichment which although now mutilated, has been of high quality. The bressumer over the jetty is moulded and has a frieze of cresting. The centre bay has contained a large tripartite hall window of which the small right-hand side light is most complete: 3 moulded mullions are each enriched with a form of crocketing, and in the head of each light is a traceried arched inset. The blocked centre section has a deep cill once projecting and moulded. The left-hand light has been replaced by a doorway. At the extreme right are two further blocked windows of 4 lights, the lower one being adjacent to a former cross entry and service block whose site is occupied by Barn Cottage (see previous item ). In the hall is a wide open fireplace with a reused moulded lintel, upon which is an incomplete black-letter inscription. The end cell to left was subdivided into two small rooms with broach-stop chamfered joists; this subdivision is unusual, there normally being a parlour beyond the upper end of the hall. Arch windbraced close studding. Evidence for coupled-rafter roof (rafters reused in C17 clasped purlin roof).
