Description
7 Hand Terrace is a terrace of seven estate workers' cottages, built from brick and roughcast, with slate roofs. Each cottage is one storey with an attic and consists of a single bay. The terrace features three forward wings that contain cottages 1, 4, and 7, with cottages 2 and 3 positioned between the center and the southern wing, and cottages 5 and 6 located at the northern end. The entrances are set in recessed sections under a continuous open slated verandah that returns part-way up the wings. The doors are Gothic pointed arched, made of boarded wood and set in heavily moulded frames, while the windows are two-light paned with pointed heads. The wings also have canted paned timber windows. There is one raised and gabled dormer on the first floor. The eaves of the canted bays feature cogged brick detailing. Notably, 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. The northern end of the terrace adjoins the Castle Veterinary Centre and features a door at the side.
