Summary

The Delft House is listed as 18th-century building with a Dutch gable to the west. However a survey by the Norfolk Historic Buildings Group suggests that the rear section, Delft Cottage, is a high quality early 17th century timber-frame of three cells behind a later brick skin. The building also has a small 18th- to 19th-century canted shop window with glazing bars.

Listed as 18th-century building with dutch gable to west having pedimented doors and hoodmoulded windows. This is painted over but to E. Rose (NLA) looked more like a 19th-century canopy. NHBG (Norfolk Historic Buildings Group) survey of Delft Cottage (rear section) however shows that it is a high quality early 17th-century timber frame on three cells behind a later brick skin.
