Description
No. 2 The Terrace is part of a row of seven cottages built in the 19th century. The cottages are made of roughcast stone rubble with red brick chimney stacks positioned on the ridge, most featuring four pots. They have shallow pitched roofs covered with Welsh slate, terracotta ridge tiles, and overhanging boarded eaves. Each cottage is two storeys high, with the central cottages (Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) having double fronts and a two-window range with off-centre doorways. Nos. 1 and 9 The Terrace are separately listed and are significantly larger, although No. 9 is attached. Nos. 2 and 8 are of intermediate size, with three and four-window ranges respectively. The original windows were six-pane sashes set in reveals with narrow sills, and the doors featured moulded stucco surrounds with a keystone and narrow overlights. At the rear, the roof has a flatter pitch, and the small-pane windows have mostly been replaced.
The garden wall extends around the side of No. 2's garden and in front of the terrace, connecting with the garden wall of No. 9. This wall is made of rubble, with added tall coping stones at the ends, many of which have weathered into unique shapes. Other sections retain the original yellow terracotta saddle-back coping. The gate piers are short, some featuring tooled quoins and others with flat or rock-faced capstones, and they are accompanied by attached iron gates with double uprights below the centre rail. In front of the wall is a pavement bordered by a water channel, crossed by metal slab bridges.
No. 2, located at the left end of the terrace, has unpainted render and a three-window range of horned sashes on the first floor, with three top-opening casements on the ground floor and a door situated at the end right. There are additional sashes on the side elevation. The front wall features exotically-shaped coping stones placed on top of the original coping. The interiors of the cottages are reported to be all different, with many having flying freeholds.
