1, Malvern Terrace

No. 1 Malvern Terrace is a small double-fronted house located at the end of a terrace of villas, built between 1839 and 1841 by Joseph Kay, the Surveyor to the Thornhill Estate. The house is constructed from brown and beige stock bricks arranged in Flemish bond, with stucco dressings and quoins. The roof is obscured by a parapet.

The building features a centre-hall entrance plan and rises three storeys with a three-window range. The entrance is an enclosed stucco portico with an entablature and blocking course, featuring double 20th-century doors and a rectangular overlight at the front. The ground floor has two round-arched sashes with a 2/2 configuration, framed by stucco architraves and impost blocks. A stucco sill band runs along the first floor, where the upper floors have 2/2 architraved sashes with small brackets supporting the sills. The outer sashes on the first floor have cornices, while the centre sash is topped with a pediment. A stucco storey band is present on the second floor, along with a stucco band, cornice, and parapet above.

Malvern Terrace consists of a single row of terraced villas that resemble those on Ripplevale Grove and are set back from a paved pedestrian access, featuring long front gardens. These houses were originally built as groomsmen's cottages for Ripplevale Grove, with No. 7 possibly serving as a tackroom that included a carriageway to the ground floor.
