A compact or countably compact Hausdorff space is metrizable if and only if it has a countable base: indeed, it is homeomorphic to a subset of the Hilbert cube.

A topological space with a countable base is metrizable if and only if it is normal, or (an addition by A.N. Tikhonov) if and only if it is regular.
