Description

Belgrave Gardens is a two-storey terrace consisting of eight houses. Houses numbered 2 to 8 are finished in stucco and feature pilaster strips, while No 1 is a later addition made of exposed grey-brown stone with bathstone dressings. The roofs are slate, although Nos 2 and 7 have modern tiles, and there are flat-roofed dormers on Nos 3, 4, 5, and 8. The terrace has a parapet that is pierced to create a balustrade over the entrances and a bracketed cornice. Rectangular yellow brick chimneys are present.

Nos 2 to 7 are arranged as three mirrored pairs of four windows each, with doors grouped towards the centre, which are slightly recessed. On the first floors, there are narrow sash windows in the centre and broader sash windows on the left and right, with marginal glazing on Nos 4 to 7. The doors, mostly original panelled types with inserted glazing, have rectangular overlights and are set back in a recessed porch that features a dentil cornice and columns. Each door is flanked by flat-roofed splayed bays.

No 8 is a larger double-fronted house designed in the same style but with modern glazing. No 1, made of stone, has a tripartite hornless sash window on the left and a hornless sash window on the right on the first floor. The ground floor features an entrance doorway on the right with a pedimented stone doorcase and a rectangular overlight, along with a splayed bay on the left. To the right, facing Belgrave Lane, there is a large 12-pane hornless sash window, two small windows at the eaves, a 16-pane hornless sash window on both the first and ground floors, and a doorway leading to an extension with a monopitch roof.
