3, Terrett'S Place

This is a two-phase building, originally a single house, now terraced, with construction in 1720 and alterations in 1750. It is built of brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with red brick dressings and timber framing visible in the north-east corner, and has a tile roof. The plan features a room to the front dating to 1720 and a room to the back from 1750, with the staircase positioned in between.

The architectural style is Georgian. The front facade has three storeys and a single-window range, partially obscured by later buildings. A flat-arched entrance is marked by a moulded wooden doorcase, a panelled door, and an overlight. A bracketed canopy with a modillion cornice extends over the window, which contains a 6/6 sash window in a flush frame. A segmental-arched window to the first floor features a gauged red brick head and a flush frame with a 6/6 sash. The second floor has a segmental-arched window with a gauged brick head, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, and the front is partially rebuilt. Red brick dressings define the quoins at the first-floor level, and the facade is topped with a parapet. The rear elevation presents a pair of sash windows to the ground floor, divided by a broad mullion and with thick glazing bars, likely reused in 1750. Above these is a two-storey canted oriel, weatherboarded and decorated with dentil and modillion cornices on both floors, and featuring replacement sashes. A single-storey addition from the 20th century projects on the right.

Inside, the entrance hall has a dado rail, and a side passage connects to the rear. The front ground-floor room has plank-and-muntin panelling which forms a partition to the staircase passage; timber framing visible in the north-east corner extends the full height of the house. A well, likely predating the 18th century, is present in the staircase passage. The ground-floor back room displays unmoulded panelling, a moulded plaster cornice, a fireplace surround with beaded ornament and a separate mantelshelf. The staircase, built around a conduit, originally had moulded risers, although the 18th-century turned newel and balusters were removed for repair. The principal front room on the first floor contains moulded panelling, a moulded plaster cornice, and an 18th-century fireplace surround with grooved ornament and a keystone of ogee profile. A smaller first-floor front room has panelling awaiting re-erection. The first-floor back room has a moulded dado rail, an elaborate plaster dentil and modillion cornice, and a fine rococo chimneypiece dating to around 1750, which includes foliage consoles, scrolling foliage surrounding a bird on the lintel, and an eared and shouldered overmantel frame presently removed for repair; original shutters are present on the bay window. On the second floor, a casement, probably dating before the 18th century, is now blocked up in the bathroom. There is plain panelling throughout, with the two back rooms partitioned by panelling – the south room features a moulded plaster cornice, while the north room retains an original fireplace surround and mantelshelf.
