No 29 Picton Terrace, including garden wall, railings and gates

No. 29 Picton Terrace is an end-terrace house dating from the 18th century, rendered in painted stucco with a close-eaved slate roof and a red brick stack at the right end. The main part of the house is three storeys high, with a cellar, and has a two-window front. There are three small roof lights. The upper floor has later 19th-century sash windows with lateral glazing bars. The first floor has 12-pane sashes, and the ground floor to the right has a 20-pane sash window. A square-headed doorway with a plain shelf hood on brackets leads to the house; it has a 20th-century door and overlight. Four rendered steps lead up to the entrance. A sill band runs at first floor level, and there’s a moulded dripstone above the lower window.

A single-window range has been added to the left, with a lower-pitched slate gabled roof and a smaller brick stack to its left. This range has 12-pane sashes to each floor, replacing what was previously a garage entry, as noted in a previous listing. The side elevation has two sash windows with margin-lights on the second and first floors, and smaller casement windows at intermediate levels. Further ranges extend to the rear, consisting of a two-storey section and a single-storey section.

At the rear, a large roughcast gable rises three storeys high, with an attic; windows here were boarded over in 2002.

The forecourt is enclosed by a limestone dwarf wall and iron railings with spiked finials and standards topped with urn finials. Matching double gates with dog bars are present, along with a chamfered pier with a ball finial to the left.

Inside, a staircase has scrolled treads, stick balusters, a slender handrail that terminates in a spiral, and an elliptical hall arch with a panelled soffit and panelled pilasters. Some ceiling cornices are ornamented with rosette, egg and dart, and vine scroll mouldings. A vaulted cellar is located beneath the house.
