Description
Menai View Terrace is a Victorian terrace built around 1853, featuring classical and Tudor ornamentation. It consists of two storeys, a basement, and an attic, with a two-window stucco front. The buildings are arranged in reflected pairs, separated by varied pilasters, with Greek revival pilasters between Nos 2 and 3, and panelled pilasters between Nos 5 and 6. The entablature includes classical wreath motifs, and Nos 5 and 6 have an egg and dart cornice. The terrace has slate roofs, rendered chimney stacks, and modern flat roof dormers, except for No 1, which has a skylight. The small pane casement windows below feature marginal glazing with Tudor labels, and there are six-panel doors. The bays are supported by iron columns over slate steps leading to the basements, which have small pane dash windows. Nos 5 and 6 are adorned with an ornate cast iron balcony with trellised uprights, which was not present in an 1859 view but appears in a photograph from 1883.
Nos 1 and 2 retain their boundary railings in front of the gardens, which slope down to rubble forecourt walls with dressed stone coping, gate piers, and finialled railings.
