GV II
Formerly known as: Nos.5-9 ROYAL TERRACE. 5 houses in terrace. 1816. Rendered, but No.80 in Flemish bond brickwork, slate roofs. PLAN: one-room width, double-depth with double roof to central valley, and side entry to rear dogleg stair and lower service range. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, attic and basement, developing to full fourth storey at rear where ground falls away; each 3 windows, plain sashes, and 2 late C19 gabled dormers with decorative barge-boards and finials. No.76 retains glazing bars to the 9-pane windows at second floor, but at first floor a full-width C20 display window has been inserted. In the remainder the first-floor windows run down to floor level, but the former balconies have been removed from all 4 units, with individual railed balconies set to No.80, and all ground floors have full width C20 shop fronts, concealing the basement storeys. A plain band at first floor, moulded cornice, blocking course and parapet, with 2 stacks to the right party walls. At the rear No.76 has been modified, No.77 has a good raking dormer, and No.78 has 2 late C19 dormers and a brick hipped service wing. No.79 has a raking dormer and a C20 extension, and No.80 a paired 2-light early raking dormer. The rear wall is parapeted. Royal Terrace was originally of 18 houses, built in 2 phases; this group belongs to the first phase, and has lost glazing bars, balconies, and ground floor with basement detail. A straight joint in the brickwork between No.80 and the adjoining No.81 (qv), showing that work was not continuous even in the first phase. INTERIOR: not inspected. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 354).
