Summary
This Italianate white stuccoed house was built in 1832 by W. J. Donthorne. It is one of only two domestic designs of this Norfolk based architect that survive. It has two bow windows and a tower with a pyramid roof and triple lancet window. The original Pompeian style wall paintings from inside the house have been restored at Norwich Castle Museum. This may be on the site of an old hall.
