Description

The Terrace is a house with an attached garden wall, built in the late 18th century. It features coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and has a concrete tiled roof with a brick chimney. The left return gable is rendered. The garden wall is made of rubble with dressed coping. The house is two storeys high and has three windows. There is a stone step leading to a six-panelled door, which has glazed top panels and an early 20th-century stained glass overlight. The doorcase is adorned with pilasters and an entablature that includes a dentilled fascia. The windows have tooled wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills, with vertical glazing bars, and there is a band at the first floor level. The roof features narrow cyma-moulded kneelers and end chimneys. The tall garden wall, which has flat stone coping, extends along the west side of the rear garden from the right return of the house.
