1-29, Thornhill Terrace

This is a terrace of 29 houses built around 1865 in Sunderland. The houses are constructed of garden wall bond brick with painted stucco dressings, and have Welsh slate roofs with brick chimneys topped with tall, round, yellow pots. Each house is two storeys high with three windows. The front doors are paired, with four panels, plain overlights, and architraves supporting an entablature with a bracketed cornice that projects at the sides and centre of each pair. The inner reveal of the doors is panelled on the side opposite the hinge, creating panelled reveals to an inner dining room door when the main door is open. Each house has a ground-floor canted bay window with pilasters and a cornice, featuring elliptical-headed lights. A sill band supports the first-floor windows, which have elliptical heads and architraves, all with sashes. There is an eaves gutter cornice on an eaves band with paired brackets. The gabled dormers, some wider, have side consoles and contain sashes with decorative, round-arched heads. Some dormers have been altered. The chimneys are panelled with ashlar cornices.
