Description

No. 4 The Terrace is part of a row of seven cottages built in the 19th century. The cottages are constructed from roughcast stone rubble and feature red brick stacks positioned on the ridge, most with four pots. They have shallow pitched roofs made of Welsh slate, accented with terracotta ridge tiles and overhanging boarded eaves. Each cottage is two storeys high, with the central ones (Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) being double fronted and having 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 to the row. Nos. 2 and 8 are of intermediate size, with three and four-window ranges respectively.

Originally, the windows were six-pane sashes set in reveals with narrow sills, and the doors featured moulded stucco surrounds with keystones and narrow overlights. The rear of the cottages has a flatter roof pitch and small-pane windows, most of which have 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 end sections that have added tall coping stones, many of which are weathered into unique shapes. Other sections retain the original yellow terracotta saddle-back coping. The gate piers are short, with some featuring tooled quoins and others having flat or rock-faced capstones. The attached iron gates have double uprights below the centre rail. In front of the cottages, there is a pavement bordered by a water channel, which is crossed by metal slab bridges.

The interiors of the cottages are reported to be all different, with many having flying freeholds. No. 4 has replaced small-pane windows and a replaced door.
