5 to 7 Field Terrace and 8 (Little Hill) and attached garden walls and railings

This is a terrace of four houses located at 5 to 7 Field Terrace and 8 (Little Hill), along with attached garden walls and railings. The houses were constructed in the 1840s, with later additions and alterations. Numbers 5, 6, and 7 are of a matching design and style, while number 8 is set back, lower in height and larger in scale, but shares some detailing with the rest of the terrace buildings.

The houses are stucco over brick, with hipped slate roofs. Numbers 5 to 8 have a party-wall brick stack at the front and rear of the roof slope, with oversailing detail and decorative pots. No. 8 has stuccoed stacks on the left and right hips.

Number 8 (Little Hill) has a double-fronted, double-depth plan, with its principal elevation facing southwest over a large garden. The symmetrical facade includes a recessed central entrance. It has two storeys over a cellar and three first-floor windows. Stucco detailing includes moulded architraves to windows and doors, a cornice, and string courses. A full-width, single-storey, flat-roofed extension to the front features a semi-circular headed archway leading to an open porch. The windows are 6/6 sash windows in plain reveals, with paired, part-glazed entrance doors. A later two-storey rectangular bay was added to the right return. The interior of number 8 retains original features, including four-panel doors, shutters, architraves, skirtings, picture rails, pilaster cornices, staircases with stick balusters and wreathed handrails, and fireplaces.

Numbers 5, 6, and 7 have a one-room-wide, double-depth plan. They present an almost symmetrical facade with entrances on the left, left of the centre, and right. These houses have three storeys over a basement and six first-floor windows. Stucco detailing includes moulded architraves to windows and doors, and sills. They feature 2/2 sash windows in plain reveals, panelled doors in plain reveals, and plain fanlights. The six-panel raised and fielded door to number 7, the four-panel bottom flush-beaded door to number 6, and the renewed six-panel door to number 5 are notable. The rear elevation has 2/2 sash windows. The interior spaces of numbers 5 to 8 retain original features including panelled doors and shutters, architraves and skirtings, plaster cornices, and staircases with turned balusters.

The ancillary features include low brick garden walls with half-round copings surmounted by vertical wrought-iron railings, matching gates, and a diamond-pattern incised blue-brick paved pedestrian access running the length of the terrace. Numbers 1 to 8 Field Terrace form a well-composed group of mid-19th century terraced houses.
