Terraced housing on Ice House Lane with small front gardens defined by cast-iron railings and a pedestrian alley providing access. The houses here are positioned at the top of the hill and almost on the edge of the relatively steep drop down to Carrow Hill. Many have retained the original outbuildings, such as coachhouses and are Grade 2 listed. This Grade 2-listed cottage is one of a terrace of three including a wash house. Smaller red brick terraced housing was built by the early 19th century at Carrow Hill, the houses on Ice House Lane, some dwellings on Carrow Hill and in Winkles Row. These houses were presumably constructed for workers in the malting and brewing industry that was prolific in the King Street area, although most of the buildings were later acquired by Colman Ltd for their employees.
