NHER 53115 (Building record) - 14 Crown Street

November 2006. Listed, Grade II.
Timber-framed house, built around 1630 with later 18th century rebuilding and raising of southern end. The house has a 3-bay cross-passage plan with the low end probably originally a single storey which was rebuilt and raised to two storeys in the later 18th century re-using elements of the original frame. The house is incorporated within a terrace of 3 houses (the others not included) with an uninterrupted mid 19th century decorative brick facing of red brick with white brick dressings to windows, door and quoins and 3 horizontal bands of single courses of white brick.
Inside there is close-studded timber framing, together with transverse bridging beams. The stack was either rebuilt or partly rebuilt to add upper floor flues as it exceeds the defined bay in the frame.
An additional feature of interest is the survival of a small piece of the original external plastering finish. This suggests that the principal elements of the timber-frame were exposed to the exterior, contrary to the normal Norfolk practice of plastering over the frame on the exterior and leaving it exposed on the interior.
