Description


BURY ST EDMUNDS

GV II

A pair of houses, probably originally one. Mid 17 with late C18/early C19 alterations. Timber-framed and rendered above a high brick and flint plinth; C20 Roman tiles. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; cellar to No.85 only. 2 end and one internal chimney-stack each with a plain red brick shaft. 4 windows to each storey, irregularly spaced: small-paned sliding sashes to the 1st storey, 12-pane sashes to the ground storey, all in flush cased frames. 2 6-panel entrance doors, each approached up a flight of steps with wooden handrails. No.85 also has a door within the plinth. INTERIOR: No.85: cellar with renewed ceiling is only half below ground and was formerly used as a stable. Walls of rough flint and re-used stone. Frame in 3 bays. One roughly chamfered ground storey ceiling beam with scroll stops, the remainder boxed. The internal stack is of C17 brick; open fireplace with a plain timber lintel. Remains of a bread oven. On the upper storey the dividing tie-beam has had its studding replaced. A long shutter slide in the front wallplate. Roof in 4 bays, apparently a C18 replacement, with clasped purlins, deep straight collars, ridge piece. The rafters are thin and on edge, some re-used, with traces of smoke-blackening.
