Filby House

Filby House is a Grade II listed building located on Old Yarmouth Road in Filby. It was constructed in the mid-18th century with later additions made in 1833. The house is built of brick and features black glazed pantiles on the north side and slate on the south.

The north facade has two storeys and a dormer attic, arranged in seven bays. The central entrance features a panelled door from 1833 set within panelled reveals. This door is framed by a doorcase with fluted Doric pilasters beneath a Doric entablature. The facade includes sash windows with glazing bars set in flush frames, all under segmental arches. The glazing bars on the first-floor windows date from the 18th century, while the others are from the 19th century. A notable feature is the central tripartite window on the first floor, also from 1833, which is topped by a traceried basket arch. The roof has a modillion timber eaves cornice and is gabled, with three dormers featuring sashes with glazing bars; the central dormer has a pediment, while the others have segmental pediments. There is an internal gable end stack to the east, and the gable heads display tumbling.

To the west of the main facade, a one-bay, two-storey extension connects to the 1833 addition, which has a one-storey and dormer attic. This extension features four ground floor sash windows with glazing bars and two pedimented dormers with sliding sashes. The roof is gabled and covered with concrete tiles, with a central ridge stack.

The south facade was re-faced in 1833 with gault brick and also consists of two storeys in seven bays, arranged in a 3-1-3 pattern. The central entrance here has a panelled door beneath a traceried overlight, framed by a timber doorcase and fluted reveals. The sash windows on this side also have glazing bars and are topped with gauged skewback arches. The eaves cornice is timber, and the roof is gabled, featuring internal end stacks and a central ridge stack. A west wing extends for four bays and has two storeys, with 18th-century ground floor sash windows with glazing bars and 19th-century first floor sashes, also with glazing bars.
