1-8, Radnor Place

1-8 Radnor Place is a planned terrace of eight houses, built in the mid-19th century in Plymouth. The houses are faced with incised stucco and have stucco detailing. The roofs to numbers 1-4 are dry slate, while the remainder have asbestos slate concealed behind parapets with turned balustrades over a moulded entablature. There are rendered end stacks. The houses are arranged as double-depth plan mirror-image pairs, with each pair having a shared central entrance hall and each house containing one front reception room.

The design is three storeys high with a basement. Each pair of houses presents a symmetrical four-window front. The end bays feature bowed tripartite windows with blind sidelights; the ground floor windows are within channelled rustication where original. First-floor windows are topped with moulded hoods on consoles, sheltering open-fronted porches with moulded entablatures and parapets with turned balustrades. Numbers 1 and 2 have horned sash windows with glazing bars, with the end bays featuring bowed sashes. The other houses have later horned sash windows; numbers 3 and 4 have 20th-century replacements, with number 3 retaining two sashes with glazing bars. Panelled doors are present at numbers 1 and 2 and numbers 6-8.

The interior was not inspected, but panelled window shutters are present in ground and first-floor rooms, suggesting potential interest. The terrace’s sequence of full-height bowed bays lends a robust and distinctive appearance characteristic of mid-19th century classical design.
