Description

The Terrace is a very fine Victorian Gothic terrace of houses built in 1834, possibly designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin or influenced by him. The houses feature slate walls in the local style and slate roofs, standing two storeys high. They have stone-mullioned windows with three or four lights, Tudor-arched doorways, gables, and buttresses. The front elevation facing the lake includes end wings, with three doors in the middle block and one door at each end. Each house has two windows on the ground floor and three above. An end bay window has ogee-headed cusped lights, along with mullions and transoms.

Local climate

The Terrace sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,510 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 56 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 31 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.
