Now residential.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Star's license was issued in 1886. This was probably when it got a full (ie, not just beer) license.
Permission to convert the "former inn Star" to residential use was granted on 26th August 1971, apparently confirming the closure being about 1970.
