Description

5 and 7 Dicconson Terrace are two town houses that were originally part of a symmetrical terrace of seven, although the other houses are not included in this listing. They are now used as offices. The houses date from 1825, as indicated by the fanlight of No.7. They are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The buildings have a double-depth plan, are double-fronted, and feature back extensions.

Both houses are two storeys tall, with an attic in No.7, and have a total of six windows across the front. They feature a plain frieze and a moulded cornice that runs across the top. No.7, on the left, is symmetrical and has a prominent pedimented three-bay center that slightly projects forward. This center contains a round-headed doorway with a doorcase supported by Tuscan semi-columns and a fanlight with radiating metal tracery that includes the date "1825". On either side of the doorway are large 20th-century segmental bow windows with glazing bars. The first floor has three 12-pane sash windows, which are flanked by pseudo-shutters, and there is a small 6-pane attic window in the pediment.

No.5, on the right, is also symmetrical but has been altered in the late 19th century. It features a flat-roofed porch in the center with a heavy rusticated sandstone facade and an entablature with a cornice. There are small round-headed windows on each side of the porch with coloured margin panes, and a window above the porch that has a moulded architrave and sill band. Flanking these are stone canted bays that rise two storeys, with pilasters and cornices at the ground floor level, and windows on both floors that have altered glazing. No.5 has ridge chimneys, while No.7 does not have any chimneys.

Local climate

5 and 7, Dicconson Terrace sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,310 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
