Terrace Royal, Nottingham Trent University

Terrace Royal at Nottingham Trent University is a terrace of eight townhouses, now used as university offices, built in 1863 and restored in the late 20th century. The building features red brick with limestone ashlar and blue lias stone dressings, topped with a steeply pitched slate roof. It showcases a Gothic Revival style, with four ridge and two gable stacks, quoins, and coping.

The exterior includes a plinth, quoins, a ground floor impost band, and a dogtooth eaves band adorned with gargoyles. The casement windows are set in Gothic stone surrounds, varying in style across the floors. The ground floor features pointed arches and carved heads, while the upper floors have shouldered openings. The terrace stands three storeys high plus attics and has a total of 16 windows across three sections.

There are four projecting entrance bays with coped gables, each bay containing a double doorway with cusped pointed arched heads, shafts, and spandrels featuring naturalistic carvings, all beneath a hood mould and relieving arch. The inner doors are pointed arched, half-glazed, and set in moulded surrounds. Stone steps lead up to the entrances, flanked by brick balustrade walls and ashlar copings. Above the entrances are two single lancets on each floor, with a crest in the gable. Each side of the building has a two-light window on each floor, and the attics are fitted with eight 20th-century box dormers.

The left return to Goldsmith Street has three storeys plus a basement and attics, featuring a gable on the right with a canted bay window, two storeys plus a basement, and a square projection to its left with two-light windows. A set-back bay to the left also has paired windows, and the return gable has single windows flanking an external stack. The interior retains some original wooden staircases and moulded plaster cornices.
