Description
Terrace of six dwellings, now shops with flats over, dating from approximately 1818 to 1834, with later additions and alterations. The buildings occupy an L-shaped range with a curved corner section, fronting both Bath Street and Regent Place. The listing includes numbers 1, 3, 5, and 5A Regent Place, together with attached cast-iron railings to number 1.
The buildings are constructed of reddish-brown brick laid in Flemish bond with painted stucco facades scored to imitate ashlar. Stone copings are present throughout. The roofing comprises Welsh slate to the Regent Place elevation, with concealed roofs elsewhere. Cast-iron railings and balconies form prominent features.
The main range rises to four storeys with ten first-floor window openings. A basement exists beneath the ninth and tenth windows at number 1 Regent Place. A secondary range of three storeys with three first-floor windows serves numbers 3 and 5A Regent Place. The double-depth plans have side entrances.
Stucco detailing includes pilaster strips with recessed panels extending through the first and second floors at the ends of the main range, either side of the curved angle, and between the fourth and fifth windows. Similar detailing appears on the rear range.
On the main range first floor, there are predominantly ten-pane French windows with divided overlights in plain reveals and tooled architraves, except at the third and fourth windows where six-pane French windows with divided overlights are used. The rear range first floor has outer six-over-six sashes with blind windows between, all with sills in plain reveals. Second-floor windows on the main range are six-over-six sashes with plain reveals, tooled architraves, and sills; the rear range has outer three-over-nine sashes with a blind opening between. The main range frieze and cornice are interrupted above the third and fourth windows, while the rear range displays an architrave, frieze, cornice, and blocking course. Third-floor windows on the main range are predominantly three-over-six sashes, except at the third and fourth windows where six-over-six sashes appear. All windows to the curved angle are curved on plan. A cornice and low parapet with acroteria above pilasters (except at the left end) crown the composition, though the parapet is missing above the third and fourth windows.
Ground-floor shop fronts show varied treatment. Number 29 has a plate-glass shop front and glazed entrance with three round-edged steps. Number 29A features a plate-glass shop front, three round-edged steps, and a panelled door with narrow overlight and a further blocked overlight with margin-glazing-bars in panelled reveals within a doorcase with fielded pilaster strips and frieze. Number 31 has three steps leading to a six-panel door with decorative glazing-bar overlight in channelled surrounds. Number 31A displays a glazed shop front with pilaster strips and basket arches, canted towards a central part-glazed entrance door. Number 33 has a shop front with Tuscan pilasters flanking a part-glazed door with two overlights in a glazed recess. These ground-floor treatments include a late 19th-century shop front to numbers 31 and 33, with mid-20th-century alterations to other ground floors.
Number 1 Regent Place has three steps to a side entrance with a three-panel door flanked by side-lights and fluted pilaster strips, a blocked elliptical overlight with horizontal rustication in the surround, a 20th-century bay window, and a basement with a side entrance featuring a part-glazed door and casement windows. Numbers 3 and 5A have glazed central and side entrances within plate-glass shop-fronts. Tall roof and side stacks punctuate the roofline.
Continuous balconies to the first floor of the main range are present, except at the third and fourth windows (number 31) where individual balconies occur. Number 29 displays a Carron Company double-heart-and-anthemion motif; other balconies carry a circle-and-anthemion motif.
Subsidiary features include lancet area railings and a gate to the sides of the steps to number 1 Regent Place.
The interior has not been inspected.
Bath Street functioned as a main street of the 18th-century village of Leamington.
