A unique and Historical Note Victoria Terrace is arguably the finest residential building in Beaumaris and occupies a prominent particularly elegant location overlooking the to the Range beyond and South to the Telford Suspension Bridge. Constructed in the early 1830s by York architects, Joseph Hansom and Edward Grade 1 listed Georgian Welch, the building was intended as the centerpiece of a plan to regenerate the declining port of Beaumaris, by creating a fashionable resort. The terrace was originally sub-divided into 10 dwellings which were let to holidaymakers and middle-class professionals. However in 1937 it was refurbished by townhouse in the Colwyn Foulkes, the architect responsible for Colwyn Bay and with the exception of No 1, was converted into 18 apartments.

Description

Victoria Terrace is a particularly fine example of Regency architecture and is fully deserving of its Grade I listing. It is described as a ‘well preserved late Georgian terrace of national importance and a vital contribution to the historical integrity of the Beaumaris seafront’. The construction is of an attractive dressed stone with elegant sash windows, arched at ground floor level under a hipped slate roof with central gable. No 1 forms the southernmost part of Victoria Terrace having a particularly light and pleasant aspect across The Green and the Menai Strait. The quality and condition of the interior is as impressive as the building’s exterior having been superbly restored by the present owners. From a flagged path stone steps lead up to the front door, with Georgian fanlight above, to an attractive vestibule with intricate plaster moulded ceiling. From there on the accommodation is arranged over five floors, three of which are served by the most elegant turned staircase with mahogany hand rail rising from the reception hall, beneath a superb “cupola”. At ground floor level there is a spacious dining room and superbly proportioned drawing room, butler’s pantry and cloakroom. The front corner rooms on each floor all benefit from an attractive bow echoing the shape of the terrace and at first floor level this room is used as the sitting room, although would be suitable as an additional bedroom. The master bedroom is also on the first floor with dressing room off and in addition there is a large bathroom. The second and third floors provide additional bedrooms and bathrooms as well as extensive storage.

In addition to the main staircase there is a secondary staircase serving all five floors and from which access is gained to the lower ground floor which was subject to a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment in 2005. The accommodation now comprises a spacious hall, with pantry off, utility and a superbly

House Keeper’s Sitting Room fitted Mark Wilkinson kitchen incorporating an extensive range of hand painted wall and floor units beneath polished granite work surfaces, integral appliances and a three oven gas fired Aga. Opening from the kitchen is the housekeeper’s sitting room, the whole area providing a superb informal living and entertaining space.

Owing to the period of the building there are wonderful features throughout No 1 Victoria Terrace including high plaster moulded ceilings, York stone and slate floors, handsome carved and marble original fireplaces, sash windows and period doors. These have been well complimented by the décor which has been superbly designed by professional interior designer.
