40, Hyde Terrace

No. 40 Hyde Terrace is a vicarage to St George's Church, built in 1857. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with stone dressings and a blue slate roof. It features quoins and is a tall, three-storey house with a Gothic Revival style, comprising three bays across the front and two bays deep.

The entrance bay on the left is recessed and has a board door set within a moulded archway that includes a hoodmould and carved stops. There is a four-storey corner turret with arrow slits and a stone oriel on the first floor of the left return, topped with a pyramid roof and a wooden belfry-style ventilator. The second bay is gabled and projects, featuring trefoil and pointed-arch windows with four and three lights, along with a trefoil recess in the gable. The third bay has a two-storey, five-light canted bay window with a four-light gabled dormer above. Tall buttressed stacks are positioned forward of the ridge, in the center and on the right ridge.

On the left return, the gabled left bay matches the style of the front. The right return has a projecting stack that rises through the ground and first floors, adorned with stone plaques featuring trefoil and incised cross motifs.

Inside, much of the original detailing remains, although the building has been partitioned for its current use. On the south side, the main staircase features cast-iron twisted balusters and a ramped handrail. The main rooms retain internal shutters on the windows, panelling below the windows, and an arched window reveal in the bay-windowed front room on the right, along with ceiling cornices. A second dogleg stair also has twisted balusters and is top-lit. On the second floor, there are fireplaces with original chamfered stone surrounds, including one corner fireplace.
