Examined by Norfolk Historic Buildings Group.
A rendered and thatched one and a half storey house with dormer windows. There were no specific dating features but the presence of forelock bolts, mantle beam, dormer windows, ovolo mullion glazed window and interrupted tie beams could suggest that it dates to the late 17th or early 18th century.
