This building is amongst those listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is described as a two-storeyed, single cell building ranged along the street, with a gable end stack and stack-side stairs positioned away from the street. It is constructed with a timber-framed first floor wall, a flint rubble ground floor wall and a full height flint rubble rear wall.
The present entry is from a passage through to the rear yard, although the passage probably represents the original position of the doors.
