5, 6 and 7 Regent Terrace and attached railings

A terrace of three houses and attached railings, built in the early to mid-19th century and later altered, now used as offices. The houses are constructed of ashlar, with colourwashing on number 5, and have graduated stone slate roofs, except for number 5, which has an asbestos slate roof. Numbers 5 and 6 each have two bays, while number 7 has four bays to the right. The basement of numbers 5 and 6 features a central tripartite bow window with sashes and a six-panelled door below a plain overlight. Number 7 has a similar panelled door flanked by plate glass sashes with projecting sills, one to the left and two to the right.

Rusticated stonework defines the basement, set above a plain plinth. A wide, plain band runs along the ground floor level, and arrowhead railings are situated in front of the basement, extending to either side of the steps leading to the doorcases. These steps are supported over the basement wells by iron girders. Numbers 5 and 6 share an adjoining pair of Tuscan doorcases featuring attached half columns and plain entablatures with moulded cornices. These doorcases contain six-panelled doors with margin-glazed overlights; the overlight in number 6 has coloured glass. Number 7 has a similar doorcase to the second bay, but with a four-panelled door and plain overlight.

Numbers 5 and 6 each have a central tripartite bow window on the ground floor, flanked by four-pane sashes within pilastered, corniced surrounds. Number 7 has plate glass sashes with panelled aprons, bracketed stone sills, and flush lintels, one to the left of the doorcase and two to the right. Above the ground floor, a wide sill band is present, and full-height sashes are unequally hung with bracketed balconies fronting each window, constructed of ornate ironwork. Numbers 5 and 6 have two fifteen-pane sashes each, while number 7 has four plate-glass sashes. Further windows above have projecting sills, with twelve-pane sashes in numbers 5 and 6 and plate-glass sashes in number 7. All first and second-floor openings are below flush lintels. A moulded stone cornice runs along the top, with an original hopper head situated between numbers 5 and 6. Corniced ashlar ridge and end stacks are partially rendered, and there is C20 coping between numbers 5 and 6.

The interior of number 7 features an open-well staircase with a wreathed mahogany handrail and a balustrade of scrolled ironwork panels. A ceiling light with brightly coloured glass illuminates the top of the staircase. The detailing is in a Greek Revival style, with doorcases having flat tapering jambs and cambered-headed lintels decorated with stylized foliage. There are six-panelled doors with stepped fielding to the panels, bold leaf ceiling roses, and acanthus leaf cornices. Ground-floor rooms to the right are connected by double doors, and a large bow window with bowed, panelled shutters serves the rear room.
