23 And 24, South Quay

A pair of early 19th-century houses, now offices, located on South Quay in Great Yarmouth. The building was partly rebuilt following bomb damage. It has a slate roof and is three storeys high, with five bays plus a narrower bay to the south, encompassing a carriage arch (Row 108). The central three bays are recessed. The outer bays feature recessed round arches, containing a 20th-century door to No. 23 and a six-over-six sash window to No. 24, with two further similar sashes and a 20th-century door to No. 24 in between. All sashes have gauged skewback arches. The first floor has five French windows, each with a cast-iron balcony; the south bay has a four-over-four sash window. The second floor has five six-over-three sashes, with a four-over-four sash window in the south bay. A wide eaves cornice incorporates mutules. The roof is gabled, with the north gable reconstructed mid-20th century in white brick. A full-height rear wing has windows and is covered by a hipped, 20th-century pantile roof.

The interior of No. 23 features a petal fanlight above the inner door and a boarded staircase with a ramped handrail. No. 24 has some mid-20th-century panelling. No. 23 was first listed on 5 August 1974 and is recognised by group value for its contribution to the character of the area.
