9-14, Colleton Hill

A staggered terrace of six houses located at 9-14 Colleton Hill, dating from the early 19th century. The houses are built with solid walls, rendered and painted, and have slate roofs. The chimney shafts are constructed of red brick with bands, topped with old chimney pots, and rainwater goods are of cast iron. The terrace sits prominently on a steep hill rising from the Quay. The houses have a double-depth plan, one room wide, with service blocks at the rear, and are heated by axial chimney stacks.

The buildings are two storeys high with basements, and have boxed eaves, with No. 14 featuring brackets. Each house presents an asymmetrical but regular two-window front. The main entrances are on the left side of each house, except for No. 14, which has a curved corner and a rear entrance. Nos. 12 and 13 have projecting cornices supported by consoles above their entranceways. The entrances feature panelled doors with rectangular overlights containing vertical glazing bars. Blind windows are present at the first floor level on the left side of Nos. 12 and 13. Window glazing varies; No. 9 has twelve-pane hornless sash windows, and No. 10 has late 19th-century four-pane sashes. No. 11 has twelve-pane hornless sash windows above a sixteen-pane sash window. No. 12 has late 20th-century replacement windows. Nos. 13 and 14 feature sixteen-pane hornless sash windows, with a horizontal sliding louvred shutter on the ground floor window of No. 13. Mid to late 20th-century attic dormers are present on Nos. 13 and 14. The left return of No. 14 has a small-pane casement window at ground floor and at attic level. The curved corner has a curved small-pane fixed window at ground floor, and a curved blind window with a sill at first floor level.

The interior of the houses has not been inspected. This terrace has group value with Nos. 2-8, located on the opposite side of Colleton Grove. Both terraces occupy a prominent position close to the Quay.
