7 The Norton

Mid-terrace house similar to Nos 5, 6 and 8, this one the least altered showing the original late Georgian form. Painted roughcast street elevation of 4 storeys, 2 bays with close-eaved slate roof and red brick chimney stacks. Small hornless 6-pane sash windows on 3rd floor and large hornless 12-pane sashes elsewhere. Round-headed doorway to left, not aligned with windows above, painted timber doorcase with dentilled open-pediment on short entablature blocks carried on console brackets above thin applied fluted pilasters. Impost band in reveals and plain fanlight over 6-panelled door with central seam, 4 raised and fielded panels and 2 flush panels. Two steps up.

Excellent little altered high status Regency interior. Stair with turned newels. Many 6-panelled doors in doorcases with reeded surrounds, some with panelled reveals. Cornices with undercut leaf motif, and acanthus decoration. On ground and first floors, front and back rooms connected by broad elliptical-arched opening with sliding panelled doors. Folding panelled shutters to windows.
