Grove Terrace

Grove Terrace is a terrace of twelve houses built in 1824, with alterations made in the 20th century. The houses are constructed of gault brick with stone and painted stone dressings, and have slate roofs. The terrace was designed as a symmetrical composition of two and three-bay houses. Nos. 29, 33, 43 and 47 have three bays, with central doorways. Nos. 27, 31 and 35 have two bays, with doorways in their right-hand bays. Nos. 41, 45 and 49 have two bays, with doors in their left-hand bays. Nos. 37 and 39 form a mirrored pair, featuring a paired doorcase and a central first-floor window. The parapet sweeps upwards in the centre and bears the inscription 'GROVE TERRACE 1824'. Several houses retain sash windows with glazing bars and rusticated stone or painted stone lintels. Nos. 27, 31 and 33 also have sashed windows with rusticated lintels. The ground floor of No. 29 has straight-sided timber bay windows on brick bases, with slated roofs and fixed lights. No. 35 has 20th-century casement windows. Nos. 37 and 39 each have a two-storey straight-sided bay window with tripartite sashes. No. 45 has a wide, early/mid 20th-century bow window with timber mullions, a transom, and leaded glazing, and a 20th-century casement window on the first floor. Each house has a doorcase featuring engaged reeded columns, a frieze with raised border panels, panelled reveals, and a door with six raised and fielded panels, and an overlight with margin panes and diagonal glazing bars. The paired doorcases to Nos. 37 and 39 have been altered, with plain overlights and a later hipped slate porch canopy supported by timber brackets. Ridge chimneys are situated between the houses. The interior was not inspected.
