Description
6 Hand Terrace is a terrace of seven estate workers' cottages, built from brick and roughcast, featuring slate roofs. Each cottage is one storey with an attic and consists of a single bay. The terrace includes three forward wings that contain cottages 1, 4, and 7, with cottages 2 and 3 located between the center and the south wing, and cottages 5 and 6 at the north. The entrances are positioned in the recessed sections under a continuous open slated verandah that returns partway up the wings. Each cottage has Gothic pointed arched boarded doors set in heavily moulded frames, along with two-light paned windows that also feature pointed heads. The wings have canted paned timber windows, and there is one first-floor raised and gabled dormer. The eaves of the canted bays are cogged brick. In the northern section, the doors are swapped with the windows compared to the southern section. At the rear, all cottages have various later extensions, and the windows have been altered.
