Farmhouse. Circa C14; remodelled in circa late C16 and early-mid C19;
extended in late C20. Timber frame, encased and partly rebuilt in
painted brick. Pantile roof with gabled ends. Brick axial stack and
gable end stacks. Plan: Medieval house probably had a 3-room and
through passage plan with a raised aisle hall, parlour and solar to
left (NE) and service end to right (SW). In circa late C16 the hall
was floored and an axial stack inserted at the high end, and the house
was lengthened at the high NE end. In circa early C19 the service end
to right (SW) was removed, the whole house was faced and partly
rebuilt in brick making the rear (NW) elevation the front and
replacing the roof. In late C20 a wing was built at the rear (SE).
Exterior: 2 storeys. 4-window north west front. C19 3-light windows
with leaded metal frame casements; ground floor with transoms. Doorway
on left. At rear large C20 French window on left with 3-light casement
above and large late C20 brick wing on right. Interior: The medieval
timber frame that survives includes jowled wall and aisle-posts, large
moulded tie-beam across hall on moulded curved braces originally
supporting arcade posts, high end wall of hall with diagonal bracing,
solar floor, moulded aisle and wall-plates with scarf joints. Wall
framing in hall is hollow-chamfered and ovolo-moulded. Evidence for
oriel windows on front and back walls of hall. Inserted brick stack
in hall with chamfered timber lintel. C19 roof structure with some
reused moulded timbers. Sources: Norfolk County Council report and
drawings; S Hdywood, R Smith and A Davison.
