Description
Hampton Terrace is a terrace of three houses, now part of a larger complex known as Riverside Flats, built in the mid-19th century. The buildings have solid rendered walls and pitched slated roofs that are concealed by a parapet. They stand three storeys high, with each house featuring a two-window range and a round-arched doorway replacing the right-hand second-storey window. The doorways are accessed by a continuous balcony that extends to the right across the unlisted part of Riverside Flats, with steps leading down to the street.
On the ground storey, there are two round-arched doorways and one segmental-headed doorway, along with two late 19th-century windows, each consisting of four lights with segmental arches supported by moulded shafts. The upper storeys are flanked and separated by pilasters with moulded caps, although the left-hand pilaster now has a plain cap. Above these, there is a plain band and a tall parapet. The second storey features six-panelled doors and triple-sashed windows, with each sash having a single horizontal glazing-bar. The balcony is adorned with wrought-iron railings in a simple grid design, with circles decorated with twisted motifs at the center of each section, braced to all four corners. Seven open-work uprights filled with circles and St Andrew's Crosses support a pent-roof, which is trimmed with a fringe of iron circles. The third-storey windows have six-paned sashes. The rear elevations, visible from Marine Gardens, still have several windows with barred sashes. The terrace does not appear on Wood's 1842 map of Bideford.
