Description

2 The Terrace is part of a group that includes Nos 1 to 6 The Terrace and The Church Room in Norton. This central Church Room, which was formerly a schoolroom, is flanked by three two-storey houses on each side. The building is constructed of grey stone with yellow brick dressings and features blue brick banding. It has slate roofs adorned with cresting and curvilinear bargeboards, along with tall stone and brick chimneys.

The Church Room has a gable that projects forward from its hipped roof. It features a window with two arched lights made of sash glazing and a superimposed oculus above. To the right of this, there is a doorway in a porch that has an iron gate. Each side of the former schoolroom has a pair of houses that mirror each other, each with camber-headed doors set together. These houses also have camber-headed casement windows, with two-light windows on the first floor located across the eaves, dormers, and three-light windows on the ground floor.

The outer houses at each end have taller half-hipped roofs and similar window styles. The outermost bays, which are set back, feature hipped roofs and camber-headed doorways. Most doors to the terrace are boarded, although No 3 has a modern door, and No 6 has a 20th-century glazed porch.
