Coburg Terrace

Coburg Terrace is a group of four stuccoed houses dating from around 1830, situated on Coburg Road. The central pair (Nos 2 and 3) are semi-detached, while Nos 1 and 4 are linked to them by gabled screen walls.

No. 1 features a crenellated parapet concealing a gable end slate roof. The original fenestration has been altered with the addition of a two-storey canted bay with a tent roof. One original window remains on the first floor to the right of the entrance: an altered two-light casement with a hood mould. The recessed entrance door consists of six panels, with a rectangular fanlight, panelled reveals, and a soffit. A porch with clustered shafts and an entablature has been added, with a glazed frieze.

Nos 2 and 3 retain a string course below the crenellated parapet, which is raised to form a central gable crowned by a ball finial. The front elevation is symmetrical, featuring three windows on each first floor. The outer windows are two-light casements with pointed heads, marginal glazing, and hood moulds. The central windows of each house are set lower and are French casements with round upper panes and marginal glazing. They have peaked canopies with trellis supports and a shared balcony projecting forward over the porch, with a balustrade. The ground floor has two windows each, mirroring those above, also with hood moulds. The porch features clustered shafts and pilasters supporting an entablature. The entrances have recessed doors: No. 2 has a four-panel door with two glazed panels, and No. 3 has a six-panel door with two glazed panels. Both have rectangular fanlights with marginal glazing.

No. 4 is similar in appearance to No. 1, with stuccoed elevations and a crenellated parapet, preserving its original fenestration and doorway. It has three first-floor windows and two ground-floor windows, all two-light marginal glazed casements with pointed heads and hood moulds. The recessed entrance door, located to the left for balance with No. 1, has six panels, four glazed, a large rectangular fanlight with marginal glazing, panelled reveals, a soffit, and a doorcase of clustered shafts and pilasters with a cornice.

Peter Orlando Hutchinson formerly resided at this location before the construction of the Old Chancel on Coburg Road.

Nos 1 to 4 (consec) Coburg Terrace form a cohesive group.
