Description
Nos. 1-8 Walcot Terrace is a row of eight terrace houses, dating from the late 18th century. Built of limestone ashlar, the houses have double-pitched slate mansard roofs with paired windows in dormers, moulded stacks to the coped party walls (some now truncated), and two bays to the front of each property. They feature a continuous coped parapet, a dentil cornice, and a ground floor platband. The windows were originally six/six-pane sashes, but most have been replaced with plate glass.
No. 1 has a shopfront dating from 1898, designed by Binder and Giddings. It has a moulded cornice to the fascia, a central half-glazed door with a segmental head to the glazing and overlight, and plate glass windows on brackets. The other houses have similar doors, and Nos. 2 and 4 retain some original sashes to the upper floors. No. 8 has balconettes to the upper floor windows. The houses are built on double-depth plans.
The interior of the properties has not been inspected. No. 7 was the office of architect Thomas Baldwin between 1803 and 1813.
