Norton House

Norton House is an early 19th-century country house situated on the north-east side of Bath Road in Norton St Philip. The house is constructed of roughly coursed rubble, with parts in ashlar, and features ashlar stone quoins. It has a Welsh slate hipped roof with an ashlar stone chimney stack at the front eaves to the right. The two-storey, three-window front is characterized by a central entrance. A six-panel door, with a glazed fanlight featuring diagonal glazing bars, is set within a projecting ashlar stone porch supported by Tuscan columns and featuring a moulded cornice and entablature. Flanking the entrance are two-light casement windows with fixed lights above, all with semi-circular glazing bars and plain stone surrounds. The first floor contains two 16-pane and one 12-pane sash windows, also set in plain stone surrounds. To the left of the main house, a single-storey wing is present, with a hipped roof covered in asbestos slate and a 20-pane sash window within a stone surround.
