Nos. 1-9 (Consecutive) And Attached Front And Rear Garden Walls

Nos. 1-9, Tehidy Terrace, is a terrace of nine suburban houses built in the early 19th century. The houses are constructed of stucco and render over rubble, with scantle slate roofing to No. 5 and rear wings, dry slate to Nos. 3, 4, 8 & 9, and asbestos slate elsewhere. They have hipped roof ends and brick axial stacks. The design follows a double-depth plan with service wings at right angles to the rear of the entrance bays.

Architectural details include semi-circular arches, plinths, moulded hoods above the ground-floor windows, moulded architraves to the first-floor windows, and a moulded parapet cornice. Each house is arranged as a three-window range. They retain original hornless sash windows with a distinctive pattern of horizontal panes. Recessed entrance bays feature pairs of moulded, round-arched doorways, topped by first-floor balconies with original cast-iron railings; petalled fanlights are above the original six-panel doors. The rear elevations preserve many original sash windows, including those in the service wings.

Internal features, where inspected, include original moulded ceiling cornices, open-well staircases, panelled doors, and window shutters. A distinctive feature of the ground floors is the articulated partition between the entrance hall and the linked reception rooms, which incorporates recessed doorways at the centre, and a sideboard recess in each room. These areas are accessed through elliptical arches and a wide linking doorway.

The terrace is accompanied by low walls along the road frontage. High rubble garden walls divide the rear gardens; those inspected (with the exception of the wall to the left of No. 1) have scantle slate copings with red clay ridge tiles, considered the best surviving example of such walls in Falmouth.
