Description
Nos. 1-19 and No. 20 (Rutland House), Rutland Terrace, is a characteristic row of three-storey terrace houses dating from the Regency period, constructed as one composition in ashlar. Nos. 1-7 are stuccoed. The terrace has bands at lintel level of the doors and between the second and third storeys, and a moulded plaster cornice. The roofs are slate.
Each house originally had two windows, those on the second storey being full-length with a cast-iron balcony; all windows are in plain reveals and nearly all have glazing bars. Most doors are four-panelled, with a semi-circular fanlight incorporating glazing bars, corresponding to the semi-circular head of the ground floor windows of each house.
No. 8, in the centre of the terrace, has a four-window frontage and a second-floor balcony extending along the entire frontage, supported by slender, fluted cast-iron pillars forming a canopy. Balconies on Nos. 9-12 have cast-iron balconies without canopies, and outside Venetian shutters. Nos. 8-12 are distinguished by pilaster strips running through all storeys, with anthemion-ornamented capitals.
Nos. 13-20 are similar in appearance to Nos. 1-7. Pilaster strips at either end of the terrace feature Greek Key ornament. No. 4 has a small wooden treillage porch. Small front gardens are enclosed by a low stone wall with four stone gateposts, each topped with moulded capping and Greek Key ornament. Nos. 15-19 have a reduced frontage, with only one window per storey.
Rutland House, at the western end of the terrace, is set back but continues the architectural style. An entrance is provided through a wall with stone piers and an architrave surmounted by two stone ball finials.
Nos. 1-20 (consecutive) form a group and have group value.
