Description
Nos 11 and 12 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 one storey plus attics and have a symmetrical layout.
The main front has single half-glazed doors on both the right and left, each with timber lean-to porches. Flanking these doors are 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, 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 weather boarding in the gable above. These houses were designed for Norfolk County Council as part of an experiment in affordable house building techniques.
