This residential cottage on Bay Avenue in Dunnottar was built in 1933 by brothers William G. D. Stebbing (1901-1980) and Herbert D. Stebbing (1902-1987), and was probably named Norfolk Lodge after the ancestral home of the Stebbing family in West Dereham, Norfolk County, England. The hip-roof wood-frame structure is original with an unusually high degree of physical integrity. Nearly every feature is original to the building, including its windows, siding, and details. All its unpainted rooms are open to the studs on the walls and ceilings, and the flooring is covered with old linoleum. Varnished fir panelling on half walls separate the bedrooms from the main room. The verandah is screened with shutters that are hooked onto chains.
