Farmhouse and remains of moat to the north. The house comprises two ranges, the west range built in the 17/18th century and the east range circa 1880. The projecting three storey porch on the west side dates from around 1600 and formed part of an earlier manor house. The house, built of flint and brick with pantile roofs, was extended in the late 19th century. This may be the site of the manor house for which a licence to crenellate was granted in 1334.

North arm about 75m long about 5 to 6m wide (max) partly west fringed by a few trees. South arm about 30m long about 2 to 3m wide, crossed by bridge, rushes clog east end. Owner says old photographs show a depression on the site of the west arm. Has probably been dredged. (Norfolk HER)
