Description

No. 6 The Terrace is part of a row of seven cottages built in the 19th century. The cottages are constructed from roughcast stone rubble, featuring red brick chimneys positioned along the ridge, most equipped with four pots. They have shallow pitched roofs made of Welsh slate, adorned with terracotta ridge tiles and overhanging boarded eaves. Each cottage is two storeys high, with the central cottages (Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) being double fronted and displaying 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. Originally, the windows were six-pane sashes set in reveals with narrow sills, and the doors featured moulded stucco surrounds that included a keystone and narrow overlights. The rear roof has a flatter pitch and contains 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 to the garden wall of No. 9. This wall is made of rubble and has end sections with 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. 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 cottages have been substantially altered, with many having enlarged windows and doorways, and lacking the original small-pane windows. The interiors are reported to be all different, with many having flying freeholds.
