Details
FORTFIELD TERRACE 1. 1633 Nos 1, 1½ (St David's) to 10 (consec) SY 1287 1/90 12.10.51. II* GV 2. Built 1792-1800. Terrace of 3 storey, 2 window, stucco faced houses set on slight curve after Nos 1, 1½ which are stepped forward at beginning of terrace. Moulded cornice and blocking course. Low pitch hipped slate roofs. Two houses form a separate block with pediment over centre and mansard slate roof, and this was probably intended as the central feature of the terrace. As there are 8 houses on one side of this and only 2 on the other, presumably the terrace was not completed. The pedimented block is connected with the adjacent houses by single storey porches with 3 bay Tuscan colonnades, corresponding pilasters to wall. Each has 2 6 panel double doors and central window, panelled below, all with semi-circular fanlights, delicate radial swagged glazing bars. Balustraded parapets over. (Above the joint porch of Nos 6 and 7 two storeys have been added with rectangular bay windows with tent roofs on 1st floor). All the houses have 1st floor wood trellis balconies with tent shaped canopies. The balcony of No 8 has earlier iron rails. (A print of 1815 shows the terrace without balconies). Recessed sash windows on ground and 2nd floors, most of glazing bars missing. French windows to 1st floor. Apart from entrances in colonnaded porches, the other houses have 6 panel doors with semi-circular radial glazed fanlights. No 1 has recessed entrance bay with tent-roofed glazed porch. No 10 has porch with entablature to side. Each house an area, spike railings with urn finials. In the pediment on semi detached block is a relief of a double headed eagle commemorating the stay of the Grand Duchess Heleneof Russia (sister-in-law of the Tzar) at No 8 in 1831. Lord Gwydir stayed at No 1 while his villa was being built in 1815 and it is said that George IV, as Prince of Wales, visited him there.
The terrace and its pavement form a group.
