This building is amongst those listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is described as a long, 17th-century building with timber-framed walls at first floor above flint rubble ground floor walls. The interior dates to the 19th century. The two-storeyed rear block is at right angles to the street range and has flint rubble walls and a roof of clasped purlin construction (suggesting that it is slightly earlier than the street range).
