No 10 Pottergate is amongst the buildings listed in thesis (S3), which considers the 13th- to 17th-century architecture of Norwich. It is described as being constructed with flint and brick walls. The gable-end stack appear to date to the 19th-century, when a second storey and a rear extension were added. The interior also dates to the 19th-century. During restoration it was noted that the building was originally roofed with a series of pitched gables facing the street.
