Description

1 The Terrace is a central Church Room, formerly a schoolroom, flanked by three two-storey houses on each side. The building is constructed of grey stone with yellow brick dressings and blue brick banding, topped with slate roofs featuring cresting and curvilinear bargeboards, along with tall stone and brick chimneys. The Church Room has a gable that projects forward from the hipped roof, featuring a window with two arched lights made of sash glazing and an oculus above. To the right of the doorway, which is set in a porch with an iron gate, are pairs of houses that mirror each other, each with camber-headed doors. The houses have camber-headed casement windows, with two-light windows on the first floor set across the eaves and dormers, and three-light windows on the ground floor. The outer houses have taller half-hipped roofs and similar windows, while the outermost bays, which are set back, have hipped roofs and camber-headed doorways. The terrace generally features boarded doors, although No 3 has a modern door, and No 6 includes a 20th-century glazed porch.
