Description

5 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 blue brick banding, topped with slate roofs featuring cresting and curvilinear bargeboards, along with tall stone and brick chimneys.

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

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