Description
The Beach terrace with attached gate piers and gates at Silvergates, No. 52, was built around 1934. It was designed by Ernest B Glanfield FRIBA, who also designed the main house "Silvergates". To the south of "Silvergates" is a flint wall approximately three feet high, featuring a central pedestrian garden gate that is accessed via a flight of seven curved brick steps. There are two tall painted brick gate piers with stepped brick coping, flanked by sections of ramped brickwork. An attached cast and wrought iron pedestrian gate includes a scrolled wrought iron overthrow, three scrollwork panels, and a dograil. This gate leads to a raised terrace, which has east, west, and south walls made of Bognor rock, with brick piers at regular intervals on the south side and a central wooden gate. The terrace features a stone floor with pebble bands along the sides, displaying curved patterns at regular intervals. The post-War concrete balustrading on the south wall is not considered of special interest. This beach terrace was purpose-built for entertaining and is significant as it was designed by the same architect as the main house.
