Farmhouse. Circa C14; remodelled in circa late C16 and early-mid C19; extended in late C20. Timber frame, encased and partly rebuilt in painted brick. Pantile roof with gabled ends. Brick axial stack and gable end stacks. Plan: Medieval house probably had a 3-room and through passage plan with a raised aisle hall, parlour and solar to left (NE) and service end to right (SW). In circa late C16 the hall was floored and an axial stack inserted at the high end, and the house was lengthened at the high NE end. In circa early C19 the service end to right (SW) was removed, the whole house was faced and partly rebuilt in brick making the rear (NW) elevation the front and replacing the roof. In late C20 a wing was built at the rear (SE). Exterior: 2 storeys. 4-window north west front. C19 3-light windows with leaded metal frame casements; ground floor with transoms. Doorway on left. At rear large C20 French window on left with 3-light casement above and large late C20 brick wing on right. Interior: The medieval timber frame that survives includes jowled wall and aisle-posts, large moulded tie-beam across hall on moulded curved braces originally supporting arcade posts, high end wall of hall with diagonal bracing, solar floor, moulded aisle and wall-plates with scarf joints. Wall framing in hall is hollow-chamfered and ovolo-moulded. Evidence for oriel windows on front and back walls of hall. Inserted brick stack in hall with chamfered timber lintel. C19 roof structure with some reused moulded timbers. Sources: Norfolk County Council report and drawings; S Hdywood, R Smith and A Davison.
