2-7, South Terrace

This is a mid-19th century building, originally designed as two symmetrical terraces as part of South Terrace in Kingston-upon-Thames, closely resembling numbers 20-24 Ewell Road. The building now has some alterations. It comprises numbers 2 to 7, arranged as three-window centre sections, recessed one-window wings, and single-window sides. Each terrace (numbers 2-4 and 5-7) has a central arched carriage entrance. Number 7 has a two-window extension, now used as the Ramsey Theatre. The building has two storeys, basements, and attics. The central blocks are built of yellow stock brick with rusticated stucco dressings. Decorative cornices feature pierced parapets above and blocking courses. Attic sill strings and cornices are present at the first floor level. The windows are architraved sash windows with glazing bars and bracketed cornices. The central first-floor windows in each terrace are topped with pediments, while the recessed wings have splayed bay windows. Stucco porticoes are present with arched doorways, fanlights, and panelled doors. The entrance bay of the Ramsey Theatre features stucco block dressings and a Dutch gable.
