Norton Farmhouse

Norton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid- to late 17th century, with likely additions from the late 18th century, mid- to late 19th century, and 20th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick nogging and red brick additions, topped with plain tile roofs, including a catslide over a partial outshut to the north. The building has an irregular U-plan and is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic. Notable architectural features include a dentil brick eaves cornice, an integral brick end stack to the right, a brick ridge stack off-centre to the left, and an integral lateral brick stack to the left.

The front has three windows, with the first floor featuring 19th-century three-light wooden casements. The ground floor has 19th-century two- and three-light wooden casements with depressed-arched heads, including a left window with 20th-century French casements. There is a boarded door located between the first and second windows from the right, along with a 20th-century hipped-roofed brick porch that has a half-glazed door and side-lights. A Salop Fire Insurance plate (No. 190) is positioned between the first and second first-floor windows from the right.

To the right, there is a one-storey service block that is set back, featuring a segmental-headed three-light wooden casement and a segmental-headed boarded door with a hipped-roofed porch in the angle to the left. A 20th-century lean-to is also present to the right. At the rear, a timber-framed wing displays a collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts and V-struts exposed in the gable end. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. This building is part of the National Trust, Attingham Park Estate Vernacular Building Survey.
