Blenheim Terrace Number 20

Blenheim Terrace Number 20 is a pair of houses, now functioning as a bank, built between 1824 and 1826 with 20th-century alterations. The building is rendered with a slate roof and stands three storeys high. Each house features one wide and one narrow window. The entrance on the left, formerly No. 20, has been altered to include a cashpoint window with a fanlight above it. The entrance on the far right, which may not be original, has a panelled door with a fanlight above, set within a moulded architrave that includes a keystone. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century bay window on the left and a restored sash window with glazing bars on the right. The first and second floors also have restored sash windows with glazing bars. The chimney stacks are positioned on the ridge to the right of each house. While other pairs of houses in Blenheim Terrace have entrances to the left, the unique variation in window width and the stack positions suggest that this was the original design here. The interior was not inspected. In 1976, the building was in use as the Barrington Court Hotel, and the conversion to a bank involved closing the original entrance to No. 20 while retaining the building number.
