Description
This is a mid-17th century house with a rear range added in the early 18th century, and re-faced in the early 19th century. It is located on North Quay, Great Yarmouth. The building is constructed of brick, rendered and whitewashed to the front facade, with corrugated tile roofs.
The building has two storeys and a dormer attic, with a four-window front. It features rusticated quoins. A central 19th-century panelled door has two glazed panels. There are two 2/2 sash windows to the right and left of the door, and two pairs of similar sashes above. The roof is gabled with internal gable-end stacks, both truncated. The south gable shows a butt joint between the ranges. The rear wall is from the early 18th century, with burnt headers and a moulded platband separating the floors. The ground floor originally had two tripartite 19th-century sashes; the northern one is partially blocked by a mid-19th century one-storey extension. Three first-floor 2/2 horned sashes remain, with the central one blocked with brick. The 19th-century extension has two doors, two casements, a sloping roof and two stacks. The main elevation has a gabled roof with a sloping dormer and an internal gable-end stack to the south.
Inside the front range, two ovolo-moulded mullioned windows at first-floor rear were blocked when the rear range was added. A ground-floor south room features high-quality early 18th-century fielded panelling. Matching doors lead to the rear wing and a winder staircase, and another door in the east wall hides a varnished and painted shell cupboard. A minor Adamesque fire surround is present, with an overmantel depicting a grisaille harbour scene. The north room has an ovolo-moulded bridging beam. A first-floor south room has plain large-framed panelling and a boxed bridging beam, alongside a fireplace with egg-and-dart decoration and a shouldered surround. The north first-floor room has a bolection-moulded fireplace. The roofs were replaced in the 20th century.
