Why it mattered
house — Salisbury Terrace matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Salisbury Terrace is located in a prominent position overlooking Baltimore Harbour. The terrace exhibits architectural design and attention to detail in its half-dormer windows with carved bargeboards and open porches. The enclosing of the terrace by the regularly coursed limestone and shale wall add to its setting and context. There was probably a relationship between this terrace, the boathouse to the west and a now demolished coastguard station which was located to the north-east. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
