Description
Norfolk House is a house with an early 16th century core that has been extended, remodeled, and partly rebuilt in the early 19th century. It features roughcast over an earlier timber frame and a fishscale tile roof with coped verges. The building has two storeys and a first-floor band, with three windows that include glazing bar casements, except for the ground floor right and center, which have 24-pane glazing bar sashes. There is a small fire window to the right, and the right-hand bay is slightly recessed. A door located to the right of center is approached by a flight of balustraded stone steps.
Inside, the original west gable now serves as an internal partition between the central and west bays, showcasing close-studded timber framing and a jettied gable that is approximately four feet above the current first-floor level. The bresummer is both billet-moulded and roll-moulded, and there is a close-studded partition wall at the first-floor level between the central and east bays. Inserted timbers just below this area retain fragments of a wall painting. The roof structure consists of a single pair of purlins, a ridge piece, and curved wind braces. Norfolk House was formerly known as the Dolphin Inn.
