Oak Terrace

Oak Terrace is a terrace of six houses built around 1860. Originally designed with a symmetrical layout, three houses have since been demolished. The buildings are constructed of stucco with a slate roof, and extend to two storeys and a basement, with an attic. Each house originally had three bays, although Nos. 3 and 4 have only two bays each. Nos. 2, 6 and 7 project forward. The ground floor is treated with channelled rustication, and the facade features a sill band to the first floor, a top frieze cornice, and a parapet. Nos. 2, 6 and 7 have round-headed windows on the ground floor; Nos. 6 and 7 contain paired projecting porches with round-headed openings, dentilled cornices, and pierced parapets, with No. 2 originally mirroring a similar design with the now-demolished No. 1. The first-floor windows are framed by architraves with incised friezes and cornices. The entrance bay windows of Nos. 6 and 7 have Greek hood mouldings. Nos. 3 and 4 have two-storey canted bay windows, with round-headed windows to the ground floor, and a central paired porch with round-headed openings, dentilled cornice. The windows above the porches are similarly framed with architraves. No. 5 has a tripartite casement window with a segmental relieving arch, a porch to the left, and first-floor windows set within architraves. The parapet incorporates small attic windows, and all windows are casements.
