Description
Balmoral is a reduced Gothic building that stands four storeys high, with an attic and basement, although Balmoral itself does not have a basement. The two southernmost sections have been combined to form the Sea Bank Hotel. The Sea Bank features a four-window front, while the Clarendon Hotel, Queensbridge Hotel, and Blaenwern have two-window fronts, all made with bull-nosed rubble facing. The end houses, Abergeldie and Balmoral, have double fronted three-window elevations of snecked rubble, resembling those at the southern end of the terrace; Balmoral has been incorporated into Alexandra Hall of Residence.
All buildings display freestone banding, and most fronts are colourwashed. They have slate roofs, brick chimney stacks, and moulded eaves. Pitched roof dormers, some with decorative timberwork, are present, while modern glazing is found in the Queensbridge and Sea Bank Hotels; the other buildings feature sash windows set in stilted headed recesses. The third-floor windows are arranged in groups of two and three, with splayed three-storey bay windows below flanking the entrance. These bay windows are supported by cylindrical columns with annulettes and some have dentil cornices. The Queensbridge and Clarendon Hotels have Gothic trefoil punched aprons. The Sea Bank Hotel has a modern ground floor loggia, while the other buildings feature arched entrances with uncarved headstops and fanlights above modern doors.
