Description
No. 51 Royal Terrace is a terrace of five houses built in 1882 for coastguard officers, featuring an office at No. 51. The terrace was opened by Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. The buildings are three storeys high with stuccoed fronts, painted except for Nos 45 and 47, and have slate roofs with six stone stacks.
Nos 43 to 49 have two windows each with doors located in the right bay, while No. 51 is three windows wide with a central door. The houses feature large sash windows with marginal glazing bars, slate sills, and raised keyblocks. The doorways also have raised keyblocks, and the original doors were four-panel with arched heads to the panels and traceried overlights above. The door remains on Nos 47 to 49, and the overlight is present on Nos 49 and 51. Each house has a basement.
The small front areas are enclosed by low squared rubble stone walls topped with cast-iron low railings and matching gates. The railings have been removed from Nos 49 and 51, and the gate from No. 49.
The rear walls are four storeys high with brick window heads and various additions. There is a well in a rubble stone well-house located behind No. 49.
