Norman House Attached Cottage And Barn

Norman House, Attached Cottage and Barn is a building complex located in Beeley, dating from the 17th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with gritstone dressings and quoins, topped with stone slate roofs that feature stone gable and ridge stacks, as well as one blue brick stack. The 17th-century section has coped gables and moulded kneelers, along with first and second floor bands. The building stands one and a half to three storeys high.

The north elevation showcases a three-storey gabled section with two bays. The ground floor features two 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows, with two similar windows above, arranged asymmetrically. There is also a blind single light window in the gable, with hoodmoulds over the second floor windows and continuous bands below. A group of stone slabs in front of one of the ground floor windows likely serves to keep animals away from the window.

To the east, a lower wing is set back and includes a lean-to outshut. The cottage has a doorway with ashlar jambs and lintel, leading to a half-glazed door. To the left is a glazing bar sash window in an ashlar surround, with a smaller similar window to the right beneath the eaves. Above, there are two gabled half dormers featuring glazing bar sashes. A drystone wall made of squared blocks encloses the front garden.

To the east, a lower range has a doorway with massive quoins and lintel, leading to a studded plank door. To the right, there is a small square opening low down, fitted with a plank shutter. The barn to the east projects from the main structure and has coped gables with moulded kneelers, along with a 19th-century cart entrance featuring a stone lintel. The garden elevation includes a gabled bay with a 4-light recessed and chamfered mullion window on the ground floor, and a similar 3-light window above it. A 19th-century wing to the west has a gabled dormer with a segmental pointed arched window.

Inside, there is a stone winder stair with a short balustrade featuring large splat balusters, and oak doors throughout.
