Exterior
Belongs to a group of 4-8 Bulkeley Terrace and 1 Raglan Street.
A late-Georgian style terrace of 3-storey 3-bay houses, pebble-dashed with smooth-rendered architraves, sill and head bands, except for No 4 which is scribed roughcast painted cream, under a slate roof hipped to the L over No 8, with added skylights and brick and roughcast ridge stacks and 2 stacks at the L end. Windows are mainly 12-pane hornless sashes in the lower and middle storeys, and shorter 9-pane hornless sashes in the upper storey. The central bays in each house have blind middle and upper-storey windows.
No 4 has its entrance to the R, with a recessed panelled door and overlight. Windows have surrounds with stopped chamfers, and in the lower storey windows the top row of panes has been replaced by a single pane. No 5 has a C20 shop front framed by Tuscan pilasters, a fascia with modern sign superimposed, and moulded cornice. A replaced panelled door is to the L, small-pane window to the centre, and small-pane window to the R, probably in the position of another former doorway. No 6 has its entrance in the R-hand bay, which has a panel door, the upper panels fielded, with overlight, and in a painted freestone surround with stopped chamfers. Windows are replacement sashes. No 7 has a panelled door to the L, the upper panels fielded, and overlight, in a painted freestone surround with stopped chamfers. The basement has a segmental-headed window. No 8, occupying a corner site, has a shop front (Gabriela) in the lower storey. It has a plain shop window to Castle Street framed by simple pilasters, fascia (with added modern sign) and moulded cornice. The entrance is in the splayed corner, and has replacement half-glazed door under a hood mould. The main angle of the building is also deeply chamfered in the middle storey. The L side wall, to Raglan Street, has a shop window similar to the Castle Street front. Further L is a half-glazed door under a round-headed overlight (No 1 Raglan Street). Above are central hornless sash windows, 12-pane in the middle storey and 9-pane in the upper storey, flanked by blind windows.
In the rear elevation the houses vary in their details, but share the same basic 3-bay structure with 12-pane hornless sashes in lower and middle storeys, shorter 9-pane sashes in the upper storey with blind central window. The basement storey is of painted dressed stone, with altered openings. No 8 is pebble-dashed with smooth-rendered architraves and lower and middle storey sill bands. It has a fielded-panel door to the L under a round-headed overlight. No 7 is also pebble-dashed with smooth-rendered keyed architraves in lower and middle storeys, plain architraves in the upper storey. The entrance in the R-hand bay has a panel door and round-headed overlight in a plain architrave, and beneath a moulded cornice on head corbels. No 6 is rendered and has moulded architraves in the lower and middle storeys and a middle-storey sill band. Its entrance is on the L side, in a painted freestone surround with stopped chamfers, a moulded cornice on consoles, and has a c1900 half-glazed door with overlight. No 5 is rendered, has moulded architraves to lower and middle storeys and a middle-storey sill band. It has 3 ground-floor windows, of which the narrower L-hand window was formerly a doorway, and replacement horned sashes. No 4, also rendered, has moulded architraves with pediments on consoles to the lower and middle-storey windows. The L-hand entrance has a plain architrave and pediment, and a half-lit panelled door and overlight of late C19 or early C20.
