It's shown on this OS town plan from 1881 (larger map).
Now a private residence, the building is thought to date from the early 19th century.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Waggon & Horses' license was issued in 1953. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable.
