9 Picton Terrace

Nos. 6 to 9 Picton Terrace is a group of 18th-century terraced houses that were originally five or six cottages, as shown on a 1750 estate map. The eaves at the front were once about 0.5 meters lower than they are today. After the roof was reconstructed, large 19th-century windows were added to the upper storeys of nos. 6, 7, and 8. The original lower roof level can still be seen on the west gable.

No. 6 was created from two originally single-fronted cottages. No. 7 appears to have been double-fronted from the beginning. The rough-cast render on no. 8 hides its original form, and alterations to no. 9 also obscure its original appearance. The widths of these two houses suggest they were originally single-fronted. Local tradition holds that there were pigsties in the forecourts of these cottages.

The terrace now consists of four houses built from rubble masonry, with a slate roof featuring tile ridges and brick end stacks. Each house is two storeys high with a two-window range. The eaves line is lower, and there is modern render; the windows and doors have been renewed in their original openings.
