Description

No. 8 Norman Avenue is a house built in the 1890s, featuring red brick with blue brick bands and a stone porch. The roof is covered with clay tiles and has gabled ends topped with terracotta finials, showcasing an eclectic late Victorian style. The house has a double-depth plan, with the entrance and stair hall located on the right, and the drawing room on the left, accompanied by a dining room and service wing at the back.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic, with an asymmetrical two-bay front. On the left, there is a brick bay that is canted on the ground floor and square above, adorned with brick corner pilasters and segmental arched windows. The bay features a corbelled brick parapet with terracotta finials and a gable that has a triangular oriel, decorated with small brick pilasters. The lowest order of the pilasters extends to the right, leading to a small brick belvedere that is corbelled out at the right corner. The eaves are moulded and dentilled in brick.

On the right side, the stone porch has a moulded elliptical arch with a keystone, and it includes glazed doors and a window above, set in an elliptically arched recess with a brick keyblock and a moulded brick stringcourse above. The house has sash windows with large panes. The interior has not been inspected.
