Description

Pulham's Cottage is a house dating from around 1530 to 1550, with an extension added in the late 16th century. It has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-cell plan that originally included a cross-entry, but now has a lobby entry. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a glazed pantiled roof that was once thatched. There is an axial 17th-century chimney made of red brick. The windows are late 19th or early 20th-century casements, with those on the ground floor including transoms. The entrance door is boarded and dates from the 19th century.

Inside, the hall contains a blocked four-centred arched cross-entry doorway and a roll-and-cavetto moulded binding beam. The parlour features a double-ogee moulded bridging beam and high-quality close-studding. One of the chamber windows has a cavetto-moulded mullion with an arched-headed light. There is also a reset and incomplete 17th-century cross-passage screen, and a 17th-century staircase with modestly carved newel posts. The service cell to the right was entirely rebuilt in the late 16th century.
