This building is amongst those listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century buildings of Norwich. It is noted that the the half of this 17th-century building furthest from the street was probably constructed as a pair of two-storey plus attic single-cell houses. It was extended toward the street by the addition of another single-cell unit. The third storey was added in the 19th century and there are other 18th- and 19th-century extensions. The early 19th-century brickwork, door frames and fireplace are of unusually high quality.
