Description

St Ann's Terrace is a row of four artisan houses built in 1821 by William Chesterman, as noted on a commemorative plaque. The houses are constructed of Flemish bond brick and have asbestos slate roofs, with end stacks featuring brick shafts and platbands, and some slate hanging to the rear. Nos 7 and 8 retain pierced ridge tiles.

The houses are double-fronted, with central entrances and hipped rear wings, to which later rear additions have been made. All the houses originally had round-headed doorways with reeded mouldings and plain fanlights, along with sash windows set within flat brick arches.

No. 7 has a timber eaves board and its first-floor windows have been replaced with four-pane timber sash windows. Its ground floor windows are now aluminium, and it retains a panelled front door, likely original. No. 8 also has an eaves board and likely retains its original first-floor windows, although some glazing bars are missing (eight over one panes to the outer windows and twelve-pane to the centre). The ground floor windows are probable late 19th-century canted bays with hipped slate roofs, glazed with two-pane timber sash windows. It has a half-glazed front door, a porch with a hipped glazed roof and lattice sides. No. 9 is painted and retains its original sixteen-pane sash windows, with a twelve-pane window to the first floor centre, all with reeded architraves. The house has a 20th-century front door and a porch with decorative gabled bargeboards and lattice sides. No. 10 is stuccoed and has a blocked-out fanlight with spoke glazing bars. The outer windows are four-pane sashes, the first floor centre window is a twelve-pane sash, all with reeded architraves, and it has a 20th-century front door.

The interiors have not been inspected. Despite some alterations, the terrace retains more original detail than is typical for modest artisan houses of this date.

A stone plaque reads: "ST ANN'S TERRACE. THE FIRST STONE OF THIS TERRACE WAS LAID BY WM WEBBER WHO WAS MAYOR OF THIS MANOR 2 YEARS SUCCESSIVE ASSISTED BY THE WARDEN MR H BRAILY. 1821. WM CHESTERMAN BUILDER."
