Mount Terrace

A long range of terraced houses located at the south end of Mount Street, likely dating from the mid-19th century, with some subsequent alterations. The houses are two storeys high and have stucco facades. Number 9 is rendered. They share a continuous slate roof, with two dormers on Number 8. A moulded eaves cornice runs along the top, and plain pilasters divide the properties. Each house originally had three windows, with architrave surrounds, though these are missing from Number 8. Most of the windows are sash windows, some with glazing bars. The central doorways are round-headed, featuring semi-circular, traceried fanlights and six-panel doors. Small porches are attached to the ends of the terrace at Numbers 1 and 8. Numbers 2 and 5 to 7 have canted bays on the ground floor; Number 7’s bays have crenellated tops. Number 7’s doorway has a hood supported by trelliswork. Number 3 has a modern, pitched tile roof to its porch, while Number 4 has a trellised porch over its doorway.

These houses, together with the School, Unitarian Chapel, The Lawn, Mary Street House on Mary Street, the listed buildings in Vivary Park, Wilton House in Hammets Walk, and Numbers 1 to 14 (consec) on Upper High Street, form a group of listed buildings.
