The address is from the 1909 Ashbocking rating records. Crown House (pictured) stands in the right spot. This was confirmed as the correct building by Eileen Plummer who was living here in 2014.
It would seem that the pub only operated as a beer retailer in the Victorian era i.e. it only sold beer for consumption off the premises.
The small extension to the right of the building used to be a shop.

At the Needham Market Petty Sessions in February 1875, the license for a Beer House in Ashbocking, was transferred from John Reed to Samuel Durrant.Ipswich Journal, February 1875**
At the Bosmere and Claydon annual meeting for the renewal of licenses, the Deputy Chief Constable asked that the landlord of the Crown at Ashbocking, Cornelius Twitchett, be cautioned. Twitchett, as a holder of an off-license, had permitted beer to be consumed on the premises, and had encouraged drinking on the Highway opposite his house. Ipswich Journal, Aug 1895**
The pub is listed at http://www.tollycobbold.co.uk/ as having been open in 1924 but closed by 1961.
