Description
8 Picton Terrace is part of a group of 18th-century terraced houses, originally consisting of five or six cottages, which are shown on a 1750 estate map. The eaves at the front were once about 0.5 meters lower than they are today, and after the roof was reconstructed, disproportionately large 19th-century windows were added to the upper storeys of numbers 6, 7, and 8. The original lower roof level is still visible on the west gable.
Number 6 has been created from two originally single-fronted cottages, while number 7 appears to have been double-fronted from the beginning. The rough-cast render on number 8 hides its original form, and alterations to number 9 also obscure its original appearance. The widths of numbers 8 and 9 suggest they were originally single-fronted. Locally, it is said that there were pigsties in the forecourts of these cottages.
The terrace now consists of four houses, built with rubble masonry and featuring a slate roof with tile ridges and brick end stacks. Each house is two storeys high with a two-window range. The houses have roughcast exteriors, with four-pane sash windows on the first floor and renewed windows and doorways on the ground floor.
