Norfolk House

Norfolk House is a house that has been converted into a restaurant, built in the 1830s with later alterations, including ground-floor shop fronts added around the 1970s. The building features stucco over brick with a concealed roof. It stands four storeys tall and has a two-plus-one arrangement of first-floor windows, with the right window angled and curved. There is also a lower four-storey, single-bay service range at the rear on the right.

The stucco detailing includes a frieze and cornice above the ground floor, topped by a low parapet with copings. The first and second floors have 6/6 sash windows, with the first floor's windows being taller, while the third floor features 3/3 sashes, where original. All windows are set in plain reveals with sills, and the windows at the angle are curved in section. The entrance is located at the angle, with three steps leading up to a 20th-century multi-pane glazed door. There is another entrance to the left, with steps leading to a 20th-century glazed door with an overlight. The ground floor has a plinth, a multi-pane window, and a continuous frieze with a cornice.

The right return of the building has two plus one first-floor windows, with the stucco detailing continuing from the main range. The first floor has a blind opening on the left, while the second floor has two 6/6 sashes and one 3/6 sash, and the third floor has 3/3 sashes. The ground floor features similar shop fronts.

The historical context notes that Well Walk, also known as Old Well Walk in the 19th century, was laid out in 1743 by the town surveyor Andrews, based on designs by Norborne Berkeley. It was originally a long avenue of elms extending over 900 yards past Henry Skillicorne's original Pump Room and Well to the lower part of what is now Bayshill Road. This Walk is an important remnant of the 18th-century spa town development and serves as one of the entrances to the parish Church of St Mary on Church Street.
