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-storey 17th-century building with flint rubble walls, a chimney stack on each gable and a central doorway. The stairs to the first floor are in a partly external turret placed against one of the stacks (cf. No 64 Bethel Street, NHER 26279). In the 18th century a rear extension was constructed and a second floor was added to the street range.
