Description
Varley Terrace is a terrace of seven small houses built in 1852 by Henry Rice. The houses are constructed of stucco with a plinth and a mid-floor band, topped with a dry slate roof that features projecting eaves at the front. Brick stacks rise over the cross walls. The terrace has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys tall, with a fourteen-window range.
The original windows include twelve-pane hornless sashes on the first floor and round-headed sashes with fanlight heads set within recessed architraves on the ground floor. All windows are adorned with very fine glazing bars. Each house features an original glazed box porch on its right, which includes panelled corner pilasters, a pair of doors, marginal panes, and a moulded entablature.
Interiors that were inspected retain original staircases, window shutters, and moulded plaster ceilings in the front rooms. This terrace is a remarkably complete example of classical-style architecture, designed by a notable local architect. The fine glazed porches are also characteristic of contemporary terraces found in Falmouth.

Varley Terrace sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,020 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 85% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
