Nortons House

Nortons House is an early 19th-century house, likely with earlier origins, and altered in the 20th century. It is now used as offices. The house is rendered with incised masonry patterns, with a slate roof and rendered end stacks. It has an L-shaped layout. The front facade is two storeys high and three windows wide. A six-panel door is located slightly left of centre, accompanied by an ornamental overlight, panelled reveals, and a reeded wood surround with paterae to the top angles and a shallow hood. Tripartite sash windows are present on the ground floor either side of the door, and 12-pane sashes are on the first floor, each with a rendered lintel. The facade also features a plinth and a storey band at the level of the ground floor window heads. The gables are stone-coped, with the gable on the left featuring paterae to the kneelers. A two-storey wing extends to the right, which is windowless on the front and has a plain-tile roof with cogged brick eaves. A further two-storey wing is located to the rear left; this is pebbledashed and has a hipped plain-tile roof and dentilled brick eaves.

The interior includes six-panel doors with reeded wood surrounds and paterae to the top angles. An open-well staircase leads from the ground floor to the first floor, featuring mahogany stick balusters turned at the top, a ramped handrail, and scrolled tread ends.
