Description
Shakespeare Terrace comprises a row of ten houses built in 1870. The buildings are constructed of brick with Welsh slate roofs and are in a Gothic style. Each house is two storeys high and has a two-window front. A recessed porch with a stilted archway, featuring foliate capitals on shafts, provides access to a glazed panelled door (some of which have been renewed), with a fanlight above. Stone canted bay windows are present on the ground floor, and sash windows with triangular brick arched heads, decorated with leading, are above. The terrace has end wall stacks, a dog-tooth and dentilled eaves cornice, and a long eaves line that rises continuously up the hill.
