Square-headed window openings in moulded render surrounds with one-over-one timber sash windows. Render sills to canted bays. uPVC windows to some houses. Square-headed door openings in moulded render surrounds having engaged Ionic pilasters surmounted by architrave and painted timber panelled doors with plain glass overlights. Replacement doors to some houses. Set back from street with rubble stone boundary wall and cast-iron pedestrian gate to red brick square-profile piers having stone pyramidal caps. Steps lead from gate to front door. Terrace is located in a cul-de-sac on a height facing south and accessed via laneway.
Appraisal
A handsome terrace which displays some fine render detailing that enhances and accentuates the symmetry of its design. The canted bay windows provide contrasting depth at ground floor level. The plaque to the rear elevation which reads ‘Bellvue Terrace Built by Hugh Flanagin 1880’, is a interesting indicator of both its date and builder. The terrace is an excellent example of the high quality terraces found in this part of the city.
