Summary
This house appears to be a typical 17th century Norfolk farmhouse with a central chimneystack. It once had a clay lump extension but this was demolished. The pond to the southwest may be part of an older, medieval, moat. Blomefield also notes the story of a chapel existing here but there is little evidence to substantiate this. Finds of Late Saxon, medieval and post medieval pottery, one Roman coin, one post medieval coin and medieval metalwork have been made in the garden.
