Description
Nos 13 and 14 The Crescent are a pair of semi-detached council houses built between 1919 and 1920, designed by George Skipper. They feature a rendered clay-lump exterior with pantile roofs and plain barge boards, along with a central brick ridge stack. The houses are one storey plus attics and have a symmetrical layout. The main front includes single half-glazed doors with timber lean-to porches on either side. Beyond these doors are single small glazing bar casements, and between them are two-light glazing bar casements. Above these windows is a continuous wooden drip shelf supported by ornate wooden brackets. At the eaves, there are two single small glazing bar casements, with a pair of two-light glazing bar casements set within a single central gable above. This pair of windows also features a drip shelf supported by similar brackets, with weatherboarding in the gable above. These houses were part of an initiative by Norfolk County Council to explore affordable house building techniques.
