Balmoral Terrace

Balmoral Terrace is a seaside terrace of six houses built between 1864 and 1866 by John Ross of Darlington. The building is constructed of cream-coloured Pease brick with sandstone dressings and has a Welsh slate roof, partially replaced with concrete tiles. It is located in Glenside, Saltburn.

The terrace is three storeys and an attic in height and consists of a 14-bay range. The central four bays project slightly, topped by gabled dormers. The end house is double fronted. The original four-panel doors, overlights, and sash sidelights are set within plain surrounds and are accessed by steps with raked side walls and ramped iron handrails. The doorway at number 1 has been bricked up.

A continuous first-floor balcony is supported by octagonal iron columns with enriched capitals and brackets, resting on stone pedestals. The canted ground-floor bay windows have a continuous chamfered plinth and sash windows. Above these bays are windows with a quasi-Venetian style, featuring centre lights under keyed segmental heads with French casements. Other windows are sashes, and some have been replaced with casements. The second floor of the central four bays has round-headed openings. A continuous decorative iron balcony runs along the front of the first floor. Oculi are set within hoodmoulds in the tympana of the central dormers. A heavy eaves cornice with dogtooth brickwork, raked over the central dormers, is punctuated by square attic windows that have been enlarged in recent times at numbers 2 and 5 and incorporate late 20th-century dormers at numbers 2 and 6. The roof is hipped and features corniced transverse stacks. Returning wings are similar in design, with three bays on the left and two bays on the right.

The interior has not been inspected. The terrace forms an important group with The Zetland, overlooking Valley Gardens.
