Royal Terrace

Royal Terrace in Weymouth consists of three houses, numbered 70, 71, and 72, built around 1818. The buildings feature Flemish bond brickwork, with No.70 rendered, and all have slate roofs. The layout includes one room in width and double depth, with a central valley roof, side entry leading to a rear dogleg stair, and a lower service range.

The terrace stands three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and rises to a full storey at the rear due to the sloping ground. The front facade has a window arrangement of 3:2:3, all of which are sash windows. No.70 features two late 19th-century gabled sash dormers with decorative barge-boards and a finial, while the parapet has been cut down opposite each dormer. The second floor has a 9-pane window above a 15-pane window at the first floor, but the bottom sash lacks bars, and there is a full-width inserted shop front.

No.71 has undergone significant modifications, including a prominent late 19th or early 20th-century canted oriel window that extends through two storeys and a dormer with a hipped roof. The dormer has casements, while plain sashes are below, along with a plain sash on the left at each level. The ground floor features a full-width 20th-century shop front.

No.72 includes two flat-roofed dormers with 20th-century casements above 9-pane and 15-pane sashes, the latter having separate balcony rails, all above a full-width 20th-century shop front. The building has a plain band at the first floor level, a moulded cornice, blocking, and a parapet that is interrupted by the projecting oriel. No.70 has a deep ridge stack on the right side. At the rear, each house has a small flat-roofed dormer and various glazing-bar sashes. No.71 also features a three-storey service wing.

Originally, Royal Terrace consisted of 18 houses, with these three being part of the 'second build' constructed around 1818, two years after the northern units. Each house has lost its original ground floor, and the basements are now concealed from view on the street side. The interior has not been inspected.
