Full description
Brick, with shaped gable, dated on plaque to 1776. Probably the latest genuine shaped gable in Norfolk, the proof that they do continue that late, as Pevsner claimed. 'T H' in clampirons. Originally two storeys of two bays in this wall, with single window on third storey; but ground floor has been altered to one large window. Recessed north portion of east facade has two bays, two storeys (one upper window shortened) and rural version of Georgian doorcase.
Good condition.
E. Rose (NAU), 7 October 1977.
