Description
Roseland House forms half of this mainly 18th century property which also contains 16th, 19th and 20th century elements. It is constructed of mellow brick with pantile and slate roofs. Reputedly the building stands on the site of a possibly early medieval house that was known as ‘Flotmans’ in 1584. This impressive Georgian building was rebuilt by Thrower Buckle in 1764. It later belonged to the Patteson family, the brewers, as well as to the Edwards family of Edwards & Holmes, who were Norwich shoe manufacturers.
This grand house, located on the corner of Colney Lane and Newmarket Road, with its impressive rooms now merits some improvement.
