Description
5 Queens Terrace is a uniform Victorian terrace comprising four pairs of houses and one additional property, located on Queens Road. The terrace dates from the Victorian era and exhibits a style possibly influenced by the work of J.P. Seddon. The three-storey and basement houses have rubble front walls with brick dressings and some Gothic detailing, topped with slate roofs and stock brick chimney stacks. A moulded brick cornice and band course runs along the building. Attic dormers are present on No. 5, while the remaining houses have skylights. Original horned sash windows are retained throughout. Each house features a two-storey and basement advanced and splayed bay, characterised by colonnettes and a blind Gothic traceried parapet and aprons. The third-floor windows are alternating tripartite and twinned, with segmental heads, and similar segmental headed windows are found on the first floors. Raised and paired porches are topped with steeply pitched fishscale slate roofs, Gothic timberwork, board and panelled reveals, and retain half-glazed Gothic doors (Nos. 7 to 19) and quatrefoil traceried fanlights (Nos. 5 to 19). Iron railings are present to the front of all properties, leading to the steps of the porches; the railings continue along the front of No. 21.
