Decorative Brickwork in Downham Market, Norfolk

Decorative brickwork is where craft and precision meet — and in Downham Market, where the local building character matters, details like soldier courses, feature arches and projecting headers make a real difference to the finished appearance of a property. Downham Market is a small Fenland market town in west Norfolk, sitting on a low ridge above the River Great Ouse. It is sometimes called "the Gingerbread Town" for its distinctive Victorian buildings in local carrstone and red brick. The carrstone and brick combination is a hallmark of west Norfolk building, and any extension or repair work in Downham Market may need to work with both materials to match the existing character. Doughty Construction Ltd delivers decorative external brick features across Norfolk to architect drawings and bespoke client specifications.
