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.

Local climate

Hampton Terrace receives an average of 960 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 74% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
