(S1) describes this as a grey brick detached house with hipped slate roof and ridge stacks. Set back side wings, one window on each floor, entrance door in forward-projecting central section. Doorway has triangular wooden pediment and shallow volute brackets supporting it. Oversailing eaves. 6 over 6 sashes without horns throughout: brackets under first floor windowsills, plain cornice above ground floor windows. One of the few houses built during the early years after Goodwin's Road was laid out. (S2) dates this house to around 1842. This area of the town known as Goodwin's Fields was laid out by Charles Goodwin as a garden suburb, to cater for the more affluent inhabitants of King's Lynn.
This property is labelled 'Rectory' on maps of 1883 (S3), 1904 (S4) and 1927. It was purchased to serve as the vicarage for All Saints' Church in 1851 (S5).
It is currently (2019) in use as a hotel.
