St Thomas's Terrace and Front Boundary Walls

This is a row of cottages dating to circa 1860, designed by SS Teulon for the Reverend George Blissett. The buildings are constructed of local squared rubble stonework with red brick and Doulting stone dressings, and have a Welsh slate roof with mostly plain gables. Decorative brick chimney stacks are a prominent feature.

The architectural style is polychromatic Gothic Revival. The cottages are single-storied with attics, each house comprising two bays. The general arrangement features two large, slightly projecting gables, forming the appearance of Nos 1 and 7, topped with finials and pierced circular stone vents. Bays 2 and 3, and bays 4 and 6, have smaller outer gables and larger shared central gables over paired doorways. Number 4 disrupts the symmetry with a door on the right-hand side and a raked gable over its upper bay 2 window. The door to No. 1 is located in the right-hand bay, while the door to No. 7 is at the north end gable. Windows have plain chamfered surrounds, with transoms and small-pane casements, arranged as 1, 2 and 3-lights, with brick relieving arches above. Entrance doors are vertically boarded with strap hinges, set in chamfered openings with low pointed-arched fanlights under brick relieving arches. Chimneys have offset bases, a cross ridge, bands, pilaster strips, and stepped caps. Projecting gabled wings with brick chimney stacks are at the rear. Twentieth-century additions have been made. Number 7 is also known as Number 1 North Road. The interior has not been inspected.

A random stone boundary wall, approximately 1 meter high with vertical soldier stone cappings, extends from the northeast and southeast corners of the terrace, enclosing the drive and gardens to the east of the site. This wall contributes to the overall setting of the building and the streetscape. The terrace is part of a group of buildings funded by the Reverend Blissett, which also included the Church of St Thomas and the former Vicarage.
