7-9 Segontium Terrace was built in the early C19 probably as a single development and is shown on the 1810 and 1834 town maps, but the houses never had a unified design. 5-9 Segontium Terrace represents the early development of middle-class urban housing outside the town centre and the site was chosen for its view over the Afon Seiont at a time before the full development of Slate Quay as a port.
A late Georgian house of 3 storeys and 2 bays, of rendered front with rusticated quoin strip to the R and slate roof with roughcast stack to the R. The round-headed doorway in the L-hand bay has replaced panelled door and overlight. Replaced small-pane windows are in earlier openings, shorter in the upper storey, with late C19 keyed architraves. The basement has a similar window and replaced door. Railings in front have spear finials. Rubble-stone rear wall.
Listed as an ambitious urban development prominently sited above Slate Quay. Notwithstanding some loss of its original unified design, the terrace contributes to the strong Georgian tradition in Caernarfon and documents the growing prosperity of the town in the early C19 in the wake of the development of Caernarfon as a major N Wales port.
