Description
Whitehall Terrace is a row of four houses built around 1836. The building is constructed of brick with a stuccoed ground floor and a Welsh slate roof. The terrace is three storeys high and originally had an eight-window frontage, with the central four bays projecting slightly. The street facade features round-arched doorways with partly glazed doors featuring stained-glass details. Ground-floor windows are twelve-pane sash windows. The first floor has full-height French windows with pedimented heads in the outer bays, while the central section has flat entablatures supported by console brackets. These French windows open onto a cast-iron balcony with latticework railings supported by cast-iron columns. Six-pane sash windows are found in the attic storey. A cornice is topped by a parapet, and the end gables have coped details. Axial stacks are present.
Attached to the terrace at the street end is a brick boundary wall with stone coping that curves down to gate piers with pyramidal stone copings and a cast-iron gate.
