Description
Norman House is a detached house built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick in a header bond and is colourwashed, featuring a plain clay tiled Mansard roof with stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The house has two storeys and three bays, with sash windows in plain openings that have rubbed gauged brick flat arches; the lower bay has a 20-pane window and the upper bay has a 12-pane window. In the lower bay two, there is a 6-panel door with glazed toplights set in a timber architraved opening, which is protected by a cast-iron open lattice porch topped with a lead-covered bell-hip roof. The interior has not been seen. Attached to the gable is a single-storey structure known as Norman Cottage, which is not of special interest.
In front of the house, approximately three metres away, there are wrought iron railings set on a concrete kerb. These railings have rod rails with twisted arrowhead tops and square unbraced standards topped with cast-iron urn finials. The railings are attached to the next house at the west end and to a 20th-century brick wall return at the east.
