Description

Menai View Terrace is a Victorian terrace 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—Greek revival between Nos 2 and 3 and panelled between Nos 5 and 6. The entablature displays classical wreath motifs, while Nos 5 and 6 feature an egg and dart cornice. The roofs are slate, with rendered chimney stacks and modern flat roof dormers, except for No 1, which has a skylight. The small pane casement windows are located below, with Nos 1 and 2 showcasing marginal glazing with Tudor labels and 6-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 boast an ornate cast iron balcony with trellised uprights; this balcony was not present in an 1859 view but appears in a photograph from 1883.

Nos 1 and 2 still have their boundary railings for the front gardens, which slope down to rubble forecourt walls with dressed stone coping, gate piers, and finialled railings.

Some interiors retain ceiling roses and panelled shutters.
