No. 10 Gloucester Terrace

Cadw's description

Location

Situated in terraced row on raised pavement, the second house of the terrace Nos 9-12 Gloucester Terrace.

History

One of a terrace of four houses probably mid C19, slightly later in date than Nos 1-8 adjoining. The four houses are in two mirrored pairs, stepped between. The lions head keystone is distinctive, appearing on Nos 9-12, 15-16, and on side of No 44 Bridge St.

Exterior

Terraced house, painted roughcast with slate close-eaved roof and rendered right end stack. Three storeys, one-window range with door to right (paired with door to No 9). Stucco plinth and plain raised shoulded surrounds to paired doorways and to windows of ground and first floors. Renewed horned sash windows, probably all originally small paned: 6-pane to attic, and four pane to first and ground floors. Added matching attic window to left. Deeply recessed doorway to left paired with door of No 9, with three broad cemented steps up to both doorways, one step within doorway, and lions head keystone. Recessed half-glazed 4-panel door.

Interior

Interior not inspected.

Reason for designation

Included for its special architectural interest as part of a substantial urban terrace in late Georgian style.
