The property is in the care of English Heritage but is managed by the local parish council.

It is likely to have originally been built for a prosperous medieval Blakeney fish merchant, the undercroft being used for storage of his merchandise.

It is divided into two aisles by a row of stone piers which support the ribbed vaults of brickwork.

The bricks, no doubt, were locally made and are typical of their period, being of variable shape, quality and appearance.

A projection at the south-east corner contains the shute that served a garderobe or privy.
