Description
No. 8A Western Terrace is a mid-19th century coach house that has been converted into a detached house. It features a stucco exterior and a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a five-window range. The front is divided into broad and narrow bays by rusticated piers. There is a flat-arched carriage entrance in the western broad bay, which has been adapted as the house entrance. The windows are round-arched, with pairs in the broad bays and single windows in the narrow bays, except for one window above the entrance, flanked by narrow, round-arched recessed panels. The facade includes a storey band, a cornice, and a blocking course with ball finials over the piers, as well as corniced end stacks.
The returns to the east and west, along with the sides of a single-storey extension to the south, are finished in unpainted stucco and decorated in a Greek Revival style. The gable features consoles and vermiculated panels at the base, paired pilasters, and a pediment with an ornamented tympanum at the centre. The extension has similar details but includes single columns, a full entablature, and a curved pediment with antefixae. The gable and stacks are also corniced. The southern wing is further extended in brick, with another brick extension to the southeast under a hipped and tiled roof. The interior has not been inspected.
