1 And 2 The Crescent

1 and 2 The Crescent are a pair of semi-detached council houses built between 1919 and 1920, designed by George Skipper. They are constructed from rendered clay-lump with pantile roofs featuring plain barge boards and a central brick ridge stack. The houses are single storey plus attics and have a symmetrical layout.

The main front includes single half-glazed doors with timber lean-to porches on both the right and left sides. There are small glazing bar casements beyond the doors, 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, and between them is a pair of two-light glazing bar casements set within a single central gable. This upper 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.
