A late Georgian terrace of nine 3-storey 2-bay houses with slate roofs and brick or roughcast stacks to the R. Entrances are in the L-hand bay, reached up steps. In front of the houses are original iron railings on dwarf walls, with pointed finials and cone finials to the stanchions. Gates are replaced. Nos 15-19 have a larger plan than Nos 11-14 and project forward in the rear elevation. They also retain original architraves in the front elevation while Nos 11-14 have late C19 detail to the front.
Scribed stucco front with moulded eaves cornice. The doorway is within a shallow added C19 round-headed wooden porch with panelled pilasters incorporating blind lattice work. Inside is a panelled door beneath a radial-glazed overlight. Windows are 4-pane horned sashes in original moulded architraves, which have keystones in the lower and middle storeys.
Reason for designation
11-19 Segontium Terrace is listed as an ambitious urban development prominently sited above Slate Quay. Notwithstanding some loss of its original unified design, the terrace contributes to the strong Georgian tradition in Caernarfon and documents the growing prosperity of the town in the early C19 in the wake of the development of Caernarfon as a major N Wales port. No 18 retains good C19 detail.
