FLIXTON BY BUNGAY FLIXTON ROAD TM 38 NW 2/5 Nursery Cottage -
- II
House, formerly divided into 3 cottages. C17, C18 and C19. 2 storeys. Timber-framed; C19 front of painted brick; black glazed pantiles. 3-light casement windows with a horizontal bar to lights and segmental arched heads to frames and surrounds. The ground floor windows are larger than those above. C19 enclosed and gabled porch; plank door with stained glass panel. One internal and 2 end chimney-stacks, all with plain rebuilt shaft, band, and projecting course at the head. 3 C19 gabled extensions at the rear relate to the conversion into cottages. Plain timbers exposed inside; complex development, with evidence of much alteration. The 2-bay central section of the house is apparently the oldest, with the internal chimney-stack a later insertion: plain joists, and a 4-light diamond-mullioned window on the ground floor; plain queen-post roof above in 2 bays, with indications of a 3rd bay. A wide straight Georgian stair was inserted beside the stack. At the left end, a parlour and room above of slightly later date than the centre: joists with chamfer and run-off stops; main beam with lamb's tongue stop and jewel; fireplace at the gable end with timber lintel and C17 brickwork; an original upper fireplace; diamond mullioned windows; roof with clasped purlins and windbraces. A later section at the right end was roofed initially at a lower level, with full principal rafters cut away for the insertion of clasped purlins; a C19 roof on the same level as the rest of the building was fitted above.
