Conon House

Conon House is a house located on Vicar Street in Wymondham, dating from the 17th century with later alterations and additions. The building is timber-framed, with brick elements, rendered and whitewashed. The front features a slate roof, while the rear has black glazed pantiles. It stands two storeys high with a dormer attic and an underbuilt jetty on the first floor. The entrance door is positioned to the left of centre within a simple case. There are three-light 19th-century casement windows on both sides of the door. Below the rendered upper storey, there is a boarded jetty bressumer. The house has two early 19th-century three-light casements and a double modillion timber eaves cornice. The gabled roof includes a flat-topped ridge stack, with internal gable-end stacks, one predominantly on the front roof slope and the other on the rear. At the rear, there is a hipped two-storey 18th-century cross wing, which is lit by a first-floor sash window with glazing bars, while the ground-floor window is a late 20th-century addition. There are also various single-storey additions.

Inside, the north ground-floor room features a sunk-quadrant bridging beam and a wall plate that separates it from the room at the rear. The south room has plain chamfered beams with tongue stops. A winder staircase is located by the stack. The first-floor rooms have chamfered bridging beams and jowled principal studs that support the roof. Arched braces are present at the gable ends, and the roof structure consists of principals, staggered butt purlins, collars, and straight windbracing in the corners.
