1-13, Belgrave Terrace

A row of thirteen terrace houses, numbered 1 to 13, was built around 1871 and 1876, stepped slightly downhill. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar with various roof designs, including forward-facing gables and stacks built into the party walls.

Each house is double depth in plan and has three storeys and a basement, with a two-window facade. The properties feature moulded coping to the parapets, moulded string courses above the first floors, and windows with raised surrounds that include keystones, particularly prominent on the ground floor. First floor sill bands and ground floor platbands are present. The windows are plate glass sashes, and the doors are set within semicircular arched surrounds with two vertical panels. Doors are located to the left of the houses at numbers 1 to 3, and to the right of the houses at numbers 4 to 13.

Number 7, the central house, has a bracketed cornice to a flat parapet and segmental arches to two windows on each floor. The door here has glazed panels, an overlight, and a dentil cornice to a hood supported by brackets. Numbers 1, 6, 8, and 13 (the corner houses) have segmental curved parapets; sill bands to two flat-arched second floor windows; and a similar doorcase to number 7. Number 13 has a raised carved panel displaying "BELGRAVE TERRACE" within a tympanum, number 6 has a similar panel dated 1871, and number 8 has one dated 1876. The four houses on either side of the centre, numbers 2 to 5 and 9 to 12, have triangular parapets with carved "B"s in circular panels within tympana, segmental arches to one second floor window, and overlights to the doors set within architraves that are similar to but lower than the ground floor windows. Number 1 features an enclosed porch with a dentil cornice and blocking course over the repositioned doorcase.

The interior of the houses has not been inspected.

Square gate piers and dwarf walls are present, along with replacement railings.

The terrace is considered a particularly elaborate example of High Victorian architecture, combining Georgian traditions with contemporary decorative elements and a varied design. Unlike the neighbouring Belgrave Place, the terrace is carefully designed with a strong, symmetrical rhythm, with a central three-house block flanked by matching five-house wings.
