Description
No. 8 Norfolk Road is a narrowly detached villa built around 1830-1840 as part of the Portland Estate St John's Wood villa development. The building is designed in an Italianate-Grecian style and is constructed of stucco with a slate roof. It has two storeys and a basement, measuring four windows wide. The entrance bay is located to the left, while a canted bay with three windows is on the right.
The villa features a projecting enclosed stucco porch with a segmental arched opening, cornice, and blocking course, which is accessed by steps. The windows are recessed sashes set within architrave surrounds. There is a plat band above the basement, and the flat eaves of the hipped roof are supported by elaborate console brackets. This villa type is similar to the adjoining Eyre Estate.
