Details
SUDBURY ROAD 1. 5377 Bures St Mary Dunstead House TL 83 NE 10/119 II
2. A fine timber-framed house which originally stood in Kersey but was carefully dismantled and in 1926 was removed to its present site and re-assembled exactly as it was. Built on an L shaped plan with wings extending to the north-east and south-east. There is a cross wing at the south-east end. 2 storeys and attics. The main block (the south-east wing) was probably a late C15 hall house with a floor and fireplace inserted in the C16. Part of the south-west front of the main block is jettied on the upper storey on exposed joists. The house has mainly plaster infil but under the jetty on the south-west front there is brick nogging. The north-west end of the main block is also jettied on the upper storey on exposed joists and with brick nogging on the ground storey. The ground storey has been given extra height by raising it on a brick plinth. The interior has good moulded ceiling beams and joists and 3 original doorways with fine carved spandrels.
