Norsebury House

House. Dating back to the 19th century, Norsebury House was remodelled in 1919 by Sir Ernest Newton. It is constructed of blue brick in a Flemish bond, with red brick dressings and rusticated red brick quoins. The roof is hipped, covered with clay tiles, and has a wooden eaves cornice with modillions. Brick axial stacks are present. The plan is a double-depth E-shape, with projecting wings to the south front, an axial passage and stairhall, a service wing to the northeast, and a loggia on the east side. The architectural style is Queen Anne/Neo-Georgian.

The south garden front has a 1:2:1 bay arrangement, with projecting wings to the left and right, and a doorway to the left of centre, featuring a canopy supported by carved console brackets and a glazed door with an overlight. Windows are wooden, with mullion-transoms and leaded panes. The west entrance front has a similar arrangement of 3:1 bays, with rusticated red brick quoins to the left bay and cross-mullion-transom windows. The front has a wide doorway, a segmental canopy, a large fanlight, panelled double doors, and side-lights. The rear (north) elevation features a service wing to the left and two 19th-century gables at the centre. A two-storey, three-bay wing is located on the east side, with a three-bay arcaded loggia that is now glazed.

The interior largely retains original features, including panelled doors, main and service staircases, chimneypieces, and restrained plasterwork. Certain 18th-century chimneypieces on the ground floor may have been installed later.
