Description
Kenyon Terrace comprises a terrace of eight houses built between 1844 and 1848, likely designed by Charles Reed. The buildings are constructed with ashlar facing and have a Welsh slate roof. They are arranged as a symmetrical composition of eight bays, with the outer and central sections projecting forward. The outer houses have side entrances within recessed, two-storey porches and two bays facing the street. The inner houses have a narrower plan, featuring a doorway and a single window on the ground floor.
The ground floor is rusticated, with round, plain, and segmentally-arched windows. These windows are fitted with renewed 12-pane sashes. The ground floor doors are four-panelled, with overlights in stressed architraves. Upper-floor windows have architraves and stressed entablatures supported by console brackets. A pair of central houses are emphasized with tripartite sash windows and an Ionic-style entrance porch with door. A cornice is topped with urns and a blocking course. Gable and axial stacks are present.
The terrace was originally part of the development of Claughton, planned by Reed for Sir William Jackson from the early 1840s.
