Description

No. 74 Royal Terrace is a house in a terrace built in 1816, located in Weymouth. The front is painted brick while the rear features English garden wall bond brickwork, topped with a slate roof. The building has a one-room width and a double-depth plan, with a double roof over a central valley and a side entry leading to a rear dogleg stair and lower service range.

The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with the rear developing as a full storey due to the sloping ground. It has three windows, all plain sashes, and two late 19th-century gabled dormers with decorative barge-boards. The second-floor sashes are deeper and have lower sills than the rest of the terrace. The ground floor features a full-width 20th-century shop front that conceals the basement. There is a plain band at the first-floor level, a moulded cornice, a blocking course, and a parapet, along with two deep stacks on the right side.

At the back, some glazing-bar sashes remain, along with a parapet and a small central dormer, and there is a small two-storey service range. Royal Terrace originally consisted of 18 houses built in two phases; this house is part of the first phase but has lost its original ground-floor format and all glazing bars on the front. A straight joint in the face brickwork between this property and the adjoining No. 75 indicates a break in the continuity of construction that occurred elsewhere in the terrace. The interior has not been inspected.
