Description

Cedar House is an early 19th-century house located on the north side of Shipdham High Street. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings and brick facades, topped with black pantile roofs. The main block is square in plan and features a service extension and outbuildings at the rear. The house is two storeys tall, with the southwest facade displaying three bays of sash windows that have glazing bars and are set beneath skewback arches. The ground floor windows are recessed within semicircular heads that contain arches. A central panelled door is positioned beneath a semicircular traceried fanlight and a rubbed brick arch made of two orders. The southeast facade mirrors the southwest facade. The house has a hipped roof with eaves. There is a contemporary two-storey flint extension that features three original first-floor windows on the southwest facade, each with two lights, mullions, transoms, and metal casements beneath cambered arches, although the ground floor windows have modern replacements. There are also attached outbuildings.
