1-10, Norman Street

A terrace of ten houses dating from around the mid-19th century, located on Norman Street, Dover. The buildings are constructed of stock brick with a stuccoed ground floor and basements, and have a Welsh slate roof with gabled ends and parapeted fronts finished with cement coping. Brick chimneys are positioned over alternate party walls, with the chimney for No. 1 having been truncated.

The houses are arranged in a terrace of ten, grouped into five pairs. Nos. 1 and 2, and Nos. 5 to 8, project slightly, while the right-hand end of the terrace is higher, resulting in an asymmetrical overall appearance. Each house has a double-depth plan, with a single room width, and front doors arranged in pairs to the left or right of the front room.

The exterior features a three-storey design with a basement. The asymmetrical window arrangement is 2:2:4:2, with a slightly projecting section on the left and to the right of the centre. The ground floor and basement are stuccoed, with string courses marking the ground floor cornice level and the first floor sill level, supported on small brackets. Most of the original 16-pane sash windows remain, set within flat gauged brick arches. Nos. 7, 8, and 10 have later 19th-century two-storey canted wooden bays with pilasters, cornices, and sash windows without glazing bars.

The front doors are paired and have moulded cornices supported on small console brackets. Most retain their original panelled and glazed doors with rectangular overlights and flights of steps featuring original wrought-iron balustrades, except for No. 10 which has a 20th-century replacement balustrade. The rear elevation is largely unchanged, with many original sash windows and glazing bars still present. The interior has not been inspected, but is expected to contain original features such as joinery, staircases, and fireplaces.
