Description

Waterloo Terrace is an L-shaped block of seven small houses and a hotel, located in Southport. The buildings, likely constructed in the 1840s, have undergone alterations. The structure is primarily brick, with numbers 35 to 38 being stuccoed and number 33 featuring roughcast. The roofs are hipped and covered with graduated slate.

The exterior consists of two storeys plus cellars and attics, with a ten-window range facing the Promenade. Features include a plinth, a first-floor band, and boxed eaves supported by modillion brackets. There are two-storey canted bay windows in the first, third, eighth, ninth, and tenth bays. The fourth and seventh bays have square-headed doorways set in shallow pilastered porches, complete with entablatures and cornices. Above these doorways are small segmental-headed windows, both with hoodmoulds; the left window is a casement. The fifth and sixth bays have square-headed windows at ground level that break the band and feature cornices on consoles, with the left window being a 6/6 sash. Numbers 37 and 38 have two-light casement windows on the first floor, while the remaining glazing has been altered. The roof includes four small round-headed dormers, three square corniced chimneys, and two side-wall chimneys at each end.

Numbers 32 to 34 form a nine-window range. They feature square pilastered porches with windows at the front and doors on the sides. Numbers 32 and 33 now have 20th-century glazed outer porches; number 32 has sashed windows without glazing bars, number 34 has mostly 16-pane sashes, and number 33 has altered glazing. The interior has not been inspected.
