Description

Norton House, which includes a garden wall to the street, is a two-storey house built in painted stucco with a slate roof behind a parapet. It features a double pile design with two chimney stacks at each end and a parapet between them. The house has a six-window elevation, which was described as having five windows with a cornice and stone band in 1977. It now has a six-bay arrangement with a plain stuccoed band below the parapet.

Notably, there are long French windows on the first floor with Gothic glazing in the top lights, and ironwork balconies at the two end windows. The ground floor consists of four hornless 12-pane sash windows, two on each side of the door, which was originally central to the facade. The door has been altered since 1977, when it featured a wooden hood. It is now a recessed four-panel door with two glazed panels that have Tudor-arched heads, set in a timber surround with panelled pilasters, a frieze with Tudor-arched panels, and a moulded cornice.

The right end bay has a stone Tudor-arched carriage entrance that may have been remodelled since 1977. The right end wall is rendered and has a 12-pane sash window on the first floor. The left end wall is also rendered and features a lean-to with a blank stuccoed end wall facing the street. To the left, there is a length of rebuilt stuccoed wall that connects to a white-painted rubble stone garden wall, which continues to the corner of No 32. This garden wall has a central blocked four-centred carriage arch with brick voussoirs.

Inside, the house boasts elaborate early 19th-century interiors with a Tudor Gothic character. It features a large double-return stair with turned moulded newels, doorways with Tudor arches that are essentially classical doorcases with Gothic detailing, panelled doors, period cornices, and simple bull's-eye roses. Some of the wooden fire-surrounds are heavily classical, accompanied by early 19th-century iron grates.
