Description
Norfolk House is a late 18th-century shop with domestic space on the first floor, located on Crown Street in Banham. The building is constructed of colourwashed and rendered brick, topped with a roof made of black glazed pantiles. It stands two storeys high with a brick plinth. The central entrance features a pediment and is flanked by square Georgian shop windows that still have their glazing bars and original crown glass, each with a pediment above. A flat brick string course runs across the front, and there are four square casements on the first floor, set under segmental arches and also retaining glazing bars. The eaves cornice is made of timber with modillions. The roof is hipped and bell-based. The eastern shop front has been altered in the 20th century. At the rear, there is a 19th-century pantiled outshut with sash windows and an internal stack on the west side, along with ovens that have an external stack on the east.
