Description

Norwell Cottage is a house dating from around 1800. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a hipped slate roof. The building has a plinth, cogged eaves, and two ridge stacks. The windows are glazing bar sashes with rubbed brick heads, with the first-floor windows being smaller. The house is two storeys high and has a three-window range.

The central section projects and includes a basket arched recess that contains a moulded round-headed doorway, which is supported by wing-shaped brackets for the hood. The entrance features a beaded six-panel door with a plain fanlight above it. Beyond the central door, there are single sash windows. At each end of the front, there are round-headed shoe scrapers.

On the right side, there is an infilled passage that has a blocked doorway and a small sash window above it, both with segmental heads. The left end of the house has a sash window on each floor, with the upper one being a dummy. It is suggested that this house may have originally served as an ancillary building to No 31, Regency House.
