Description
Grosvenor Terrace is a terrace of five houses completed in 1845, financed by George Ward, a yeoman farmer, as a building speculation. The terrace was altered in the 20th century. The houses are constructed of ashlar, with slate hipped roofs. They are two storeys high, with attics, and each house is double-fronted, with a central entrance and three windows on the first floor. The entrances have four-panel doors with overlights, set within pilastered surrounds topped by an entablature and cornice. The plate-glass sash windows have plain sills and lintels; a continuous sill band runs along the first floor. A moulded stone eaves cornice runs along the top of the building, with corniced stacks located forward and rear of the ridge. Dormer windows have been added to the attics of numbers 3 and 4 in the 20th century. The houses are numbered from right to left.
The interior of number 5 features an entrance hall with a straight flight of stairs, slim turned newels, a ramped handrail, and four-panel doors. Grosvenor Terrace represents the second terrace to be built as a speculation in an area previously populated by detached villas.
