Description
Norton House is a house dating from the 17th century, which was underbuilt and refaced in the early 19th century. It features a timber frame that is underbuilt with limestone rubble and has a stucco facing. The house has a slate roof and consists of two ranges on the right side. It has three framed bays and is two storeys high, with deep eaves and integral brick end stacks on the right. There is also a 17th-century lateral brick stack at the rear, positioned off-centre to the left. The front has three windows, which are 16-pane glazing bar sashes.
The entrance features a mid- to late-19th-century four-panelled door located between the first and second windows from the right. This door has a four-part rectangular overlight, an architrave, and a bracketed hood. Inside, there is evidence of a former continuously jettied first floor, with chamfered and stopped beams. Notable interior features include two moulded and carved beams with bold leaf decoration on the underside, 17th-century corner fireplaces with chamfered lintels, and an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase. The staircase has winders, a closed string, turned balusters, a moulded handrail, a columnular bottom newel post, and splat balusters on the landing that are shaped to resemble turned twisted balusters.
