Description
Norfolk House is an early 19th-century building that has been converted into two shops and three flats in the late 20th century. It is constructed of gault brick and features a roof of black-glazed pantiles at the front and concrete tiles at the rear. The building stands three storeys high and has a central double-leaf door with six panels, set within panelled and fielded reveals, topped by a three-vaned fanlight. The doorcase is adorned with engaged reeded quarter columns and reeded block entablatures. On either side of the door, there are late 20th-century shop fronts, each with associated doors. The first floor has two sash windows with three panes over six panes, while the second floor features two three-pane sashes separated by an inserted two-pane sash. All windows, except for the inserted one, have gauged skewback arches. The gabled roof has a rebuilt stack, and the rear of the building includes a full-height wing fitted with mixed sashes, along with two late 20th-century brick extensions. The interior has little of interest and the building is included for its group value.
