Later in the 17th century a rear extension was added although this was originally longer than what can be seen in modernity. The single ground floor interior space reflects the present use as a shop.

November 1980. Norwich Survey.
Two storey block with attics. Gutted and fire damaged. 18th century cellar altered in the late 18th/19th century to their existing plan. The size and plan form of the street range suggest nothing more than a 17th century date, whilst the rear range can be dated by its roof alone to the mid/late 17th century.
