3 The Terrace

3 The Terrace is a Grade II* listed building constructed from tooled squared limestone, featuring hipped roofs—one covered in slate and the other three in asbestos—with four stone stacks. The structure has a basement and three storeys, displaying a 1-4-1 window arrangement. The outer bays are set back and broader, each with entrance doorways. Architectural details include a plinth, a ground floor impost band, a first-floor sill band, a cornice, and a low parapet. The upper windows are square with 6-pane sashes, while the first floor has 12-pane sashes and the ground floor features recessed arched openings, four arched sashes, and larger outer doorways. Original lead downpipes are located at the angles leading to the centre. The doorways are broad and recessed within outer arches, adorned with large fanlights and doors that have sidelights. Number 2 retains double 3-panel doors with a dentil cornice, although the fanlight has been altered. Number 3 has a blank fanlight, and its door has been changed to a window. The front area is enclosed by simple diagonally-crossing iron railings, with garden walls on each side made of squared stone, coped and ramped up to the sides of the house. There is a garden door leading to Number 2. The side elevations have three windows and are similar to the front, with Number 2 having a full basement, recessed arches on the ground floor, and blank windows to the right on each main floor. The garden front mirrors these details and features fine oversailing steps leading to Number 2 from the rear door, supported by unusual cast-iron standards entwined by serpentine scrolls. Original lead downpipes are also present.

Number 3 has been converted into flats, and its interior has not been inspected. Number 2 remains largely unchanged from its original plan, except for repairs made after war damage to the windows, shutters, and one ceiling on the south side. The interior includes a half-glazed inner hall door, simple plaster cornices based on Greek mutules, and a staircase located on the west side. Notably, the interior showcases extensive use of iron in its construction, including floor beams and trimmers on each floor, with sand plugging between the iron members possibly serving as fire-proofing. The roof structure consists of four small hipped roofs supported by cast-iron tie-beam trusses with cast-iron diagonal braces and a wrought-iron central bolted tie, along with iron vertically-set battens beneath timber boarding under the roof cladding.
