SS826000 UNION TERRACE 672-1/5/175 No.5 11/10/72 (Formerly Listed as: UNION TERRACE Belstone House)
GV II
House. Circa 1740-60, incorporating fragment of earlier building. Front elevation painted Flemish bond brick on stone rubble footings, rear elevation partly local volcanic trap rubble, rear wing plastered, partly rubble and partly local volcanic trap ashlar. Slate roof; end stacks and lateral stack to rear wing with brick shafts. Plan: L-plan. Main block single depth, 2 rooms wide with a central entrance into a passage; rear left service wing. Exterior: 3 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front with deep boxed eaves. Central 6-panel front door, the lower panels flush with an C18 doorcase with reeded pilasters and a entablature with a frieze of mutules and lozenges with moulded brackets below the cornice. The door is flanked by probably mid C19 canted bay windows with hipped roofs, glazed with 4-pane sashes in the centre and 2-pane in the outer lights. Below the windows in each bay are timber windows either to a cellar or to ventilate the floors. These have strap hinges and lattice iron grilles and look earlier than the windows: they may be C18 and re-used when the bays were added. 3 first floor early C18 12-pane sashes with segmental heads and flush frames. 3 first floor C19 windows with segmental heads, glazed with 2-light casements, 2 panes per light. The rear elevation of the main block has various C20 timber windows including small-pane sashes. Interior: Numerous C18 features include Italian marble ground floor chimneypieces; a timber eared chimney-piece on the first floor; plaster cornices; joinery including skirtings, doors with fielded panels and doorcases with masons' mitres, 2-panel doors, fitted cupboards; reeded doorcase with rosettes to ground floor room right. Good C18 dog-leg stair off entrance passage with a flat moulded handrail and turned balusters. Plaster has been stripped off the end wall of the service wing revealing a section of ashlar volcanic stone rubble adjacent to a small cloam oven. The ashlar work suggests that this wall may be C16 or C17 in part. This is a fine C18 house, part of a good row of Georgian houses on Union Terrace.
