Description
Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 Bath Terrace is a terrace of four houses built around 1830. The houses are faced with dressed sandstone and incised stucco, topped with a hipped low-pitched Welsh slate roof and brick stacks. Each house has two storeys and a basement, featuring two windows. The symmetrical facade includes two central porches, flanked by two windows and end porches. The slightly projecting basement has some 12-pane sash windows.
Access to the ground floor is via five steps leading from the basement yard to a pedimented Tuscan porch made of wood, which has a panelled soffit and a pair of three-panel outer doors, with renewed inner double doors. The ground floor features canted three-light oriel windows with panelled aprons, pilaster frames, a bracketed cornice, and renewed two-pane sashes. The first-floor windows are four-pane sashes set within a sill string course and stucco architraves. The eaves cornice is moulded stucco, and there is a low parapet.
On the roof, there are four late 19th-century canted dormers with two-pane sashes. The houses have two large rendered cross-axial ridge stacks. The sill string course and eaves cornice continue along the right return and rear of the buildings. At the rear, there are four tall oblong staircase windows, two with 18-pane sashes and two with late 19th-century margined sashes, along with four tripartite ground floor windows.
The interiors have been much altered but still feature four-flight dogleg staircases with two stick balusters per tread, ramped handrails, and turned newels. The front of the terrace is enclosed by cast-iron area railings on a low cambered wall, which are largely renewed but retain the original standards with urn finials.
