Normanby House

Normanby House is a rectory, later converted into a house, dating from 1723. It was remodelled around 1815 and subsequently altered and extended. The building was originally constructed for Reverend William Consett and later used by Reverend Arthur Cayley. It is built of dressed sandy limestone, with a pantile roof and rebuilt brick stacks. The design follows a central-stairhall plan, with a depth of one and a half rooms and a rear service wing that has been added to and extended. The front facade has two storeys and a three-window arrangement. A six-panel door is set within a pedimented doorcase, above which is a patterned fanlight. A canted bay window has been inserted on the left side, and a tripartite sash window with a renewed lintel is located on the right, within an altered opening. The first floor has 16-pane sashes with stone sills and lintels. End stacks are present.

Inside, a cut-string staircase features a moulded, ramped-up handrail, turned balusters, and carved tread ends. The hall doors are framed by reeded doorcases. Original chimney pieces, incorporating dentilled cornice shelves, remain in the ground-floor front rooms.
