Historic high street very well preserved.

Grade II Listed pair of cottages probably 17th century.

A very nice house High Street Hadleigh, Suffolk.

Grade II* Listed 17th century 2740 sq. ft. house and former inn. Carved bressummer carries the date 1649. In 2013 and 2017 it was The Gables Bed and Breakfast but planning was submitted to return to residential only in 2021. The only information I can find is 'Swan & Commercial' in High Street with no other information. The 1884 and 1892 OS map appears to show it with a near central carriageway and to the rear 'Malthouse' but it is not clear what building this refers to (other inns are specifically labelled). Directories 1839 to 1912 make no mention of a Swan in High Street and in 1912 it shows 108 and 110 as private residents but numbering cannot be relied upon. Built as two homes, if it was an inn, it is probably in the 18th century. 2017 see Image

Mid 15th century Grade II* Listed hall house extended to rear early 16th century. Restored 1927-9 by Sydney Schofield. The house had been built for a wool merchant. It still has a large door onto the street, presumably big enough for a laden pack pony to enter, with a smaller door inset for people to use. It is claimed that this house was the inspiration for Martin Reed’s house in Norah Loft's book 'The Town House'. A 1939 book on pargetting describes at Sun Court 'an unusually sophisticated embellishment consisting of swags, pendants and scrolls and surmounted by a shell', I assume this was on the façade that shows no evidence of it now.

Old garage High Street Hadleigh, Suffolk.

Grade II Listed 18th century house refaced in Suffolk brick in the 19th century. A post card produced by himself shows Edwin Ringer, occupant in 1930. He was headmaster of the Council School in Station Road, secretary of the War Memorial committees (1919-1921), a deacon and the choir master at Hadleigh Congregational Church.

Probably 17th century with 18th century features and Grade II Listed.
