Description
7 Priory Terrace is a terrace of five houses, built and likely designed by William Woodward, who was the builder and owner of the Cardigan brickworks. The houses are constructed of red brick with extensive decorative features made from moulded or pressed brick. The center house is gabled and set forward, featuring one window with a door to the left, while the other houses have two windows each and are all two storeys tall.
The upper windows are four-pane sashes with notched brick segmental heads, slate sills, and painted wood boards with incised crosses above the window heads. Each ground floor has a canted bay with hipped metal-clad roofs, although the center house has a two-storey bay in the middle and a door to the left. The doors are all two-panel, set within notched brick segmental pointed arches, and feature carved heads with varied designs as keystones. The center house also has a bargeboarded gable and a small pointed attic light.
Red brick ridge stacks are present on the roofs. The terrace showcases extensive decorative brickwork, including ornamentation on the plinth, panels between the bay windows and doors, and a panel on the bay apron that survives only on No. 9. There is a prominent pulvinated zig-zag frieze between the floors, leaf-pattern panels between the upper windows, and a zig-zag and nailhead eaves course that continues on the center gable.
