History

Marine Terrace is first shown in a view of Porthmadog by C.F. Williams, dated 1849, and is mentioned by Owen Morris in 1856. The terrace is shown on the 1871 Tremadog estate plan and 1888 Ordnance Survey. No 7 is a mid C19, possibly the latest in the row, but its front was subsequently remodelled, together with No 6, to create the present roughcast front.

Exterior

A 3-storey 2-bay late-Georgian style house of roughcast walls with rusticated quoin strips, slate roof on projecting eaves roofed in a range with No 6, and roughcast end stacks. Openings are offset to the R side. On the R side it has a recessed fielded-panel door and overlight of coloured frosted glass. Windows are 12-pane horned sashes, under hood moulds in the lower 2 storeys, shorter and beneath the eaves in the upper storey. In the L gable end is a 2-pane sash window in the middle storey on the R side.

Interior

Not inspected.
