Description
8 Ventnor Terrace is a terrace of houses built around 1890, featuring two storeys and a basement with eight symmetrical bays and eclectic architectural details. The exterior is constructed from cream sandstone coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. Notable features include a base course, a cornice above the ground floor windows in canted bays, overhanging dentilled eaves, and decoratively carved bargeboards on the gables.
On the south elevation, there are steps leading to recessed doorways in the central bays and the second bays from the left and right. These doorways have two-leaf panelled doors, with small paned stained glass fanlights above the doors for Nos 8, 9, and 10, and a plate glass fanlight for No 11. The doorpieces feature shouldered arched architraves and corbelled pediments, while above, there are single round arched windows on the first floor. The remaining gabled bays have full-height, three-light canted windows.
The west elevation includes a bipartite window at ground level in the central gabled bay and a tripartite stair window between the floors above. There are single windows on both floors in the gabled bays at the outer right and left. A modern garage has been inserted into the basement.
The east elevation, facing McLaren Road, mirrors the west elevation with a bipartite window at ground level in the central gabled bay, a tripartite stair window between the floors above, and bipartite windows on both floors in the gabled bay to the outer right, along with single windows in the gabled bay to the outer left.
The windows are a mix of plate glass and timber sash and case styles. The roofs are pitched with grey slate, featuring corniced wallhead stacks and coped ridge stacks.
The interiors were not seen during the inspection in 1996. The property has low coped boundary walls along the street with replacement railings.
