The ground floor opening is interesting. In the listing 'The ground storey has a double-hung sash window with glazing bars'. In the image attached to the listing there is an up-and-over garage door. Now half glazed doors opening outward. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1351865 Long Melford is a large village in Suffolk near the border with Essex, some 3 miles north of Sudbury. The village gained its name because it stretches for two and three quarter miles essentially along a single road. There is evidence of occupation from every period from the Mesolithic. The village contains two stately homes, Kentwell Hall and Melford Hall, is home to one of the largest and richest "wool churches" in East Anglia with fine flushwork, and a superb almshouse founded in 1573.
