    Extract from the 2009 study

    Thanet Terrace is a single-storey gabled row of houses in polychromatic brickwork with a slate roof. The gable end walls are parapeted in contrasting cream brick, the same cream bricks used on the wing walls at the ends. The eaves are bracketed and also have a decorative brick and tile frieze. Each dwelling has a corniced chimney centrally placed on the ridge. The verandah to each dwelling is separated by a brick wall and supported by timber posts with a concave roof of corrugated metal (originally corrugated iron). Each section of verandah has a panelled cast-iron frieze and cast iron brackets with an additional post and set of brackets creating a portal-arch in front of the front entrance to each house.

    To the rear of the terrace a number of extensions have been constructed. Nos. 38 and 40. and Nos. 42 and 44 share extensions in pairs; with Nos. 34 and 36 each having a separate extension.

    Alterations to the front facade (east elevation) include the restoration of the previously removed frieze work to Nos. 38 and 44 and the replacement of the corrugated iron front fence with a timber picket fence.
