Riverside Terrace

Riverside Terrace is a terrace of houses built between 1830 and 1840, located on Thames Street in Sunbury-on-Thames. The buildings are constructed from dun-coloured brick and feature deep wooden eaves. The roof has been renewed with slate, while the left side has concrete tiles. The terrace is two storeys high with a basement, and the ground floor on the left side includes a shop front.

The ends of the terrace have dentilled stacks, and there are dentilled cross ridge stacks at the center. The eaves cornice is supported by scroll brackets, although the left end bracket has been sawn off. Above the ground floor, there is a cornice. The front of the terrace has a regular arrangement of three first-floor sash windows with margin lights in the center and to the right, with one window for each cottage. Below, there are larger six-light windows.

On the left end cottage, there are two first-floor sash windows, a dormer above, and a projecting ground floor with three arched lights on either side of a central recess. This recess is flanked by square Doric piers on wooden boarded pedestals. A 20th-century half-glazed door is approached by four steps. To the right, there is a 19th-century panelled door, also accessed by four steps, set in a Doric pier recess.

At the basement level, there are two 19th-century, 12-pane glazing-bar sash windows, one on either side of a central arch buttress that supports the stairs. Wooden screens with St Andrew's Cross bracing cover the front, divided into two bays. Each cottage has further doors, with two located to the left of center in a porch recess, accessed by four steps with railings extending across the front. Doric piers flank the recess and there are inner Doric pilaster surrounds to the doors, with another door located to the right of center between the flanking piers.
