Description
26-28 Bath Street and 12-14 Spencer Street are two terraced houses that have been converted into shops with flats above. They were built around 1818 to 1836 and have undergone later additions and alterations, including 20th-century shop fronts on the ground floor. The buildings are constructed from reddish-brown brick in English Garden Wall bond, with painted stucco facades, a Welsh slate roof, and a cast-iron balcony.
The terrace continues around the corner, featuring a curved angle. The exterior rises four storeys and has seven first-floor windows arranged in a 3:4 pattern. The ground floor projects outward, and there are giant Tuscan pilasters extending through the first and second floors at the ends and between the three right windows. A stepped frieze and cornice are present, along with a moulded band on the second floor. The third floor features pilaster strips above the windows.
On the first floor, there is a tall blind opening, two tall 6/9 sash windows, another tall blind opening, a tall 3/9 sash window, and two tall unequally-hung 1/1 sash windows, all set in plain reveals. The second floor has seven 6/6 sash windows in plain reveals with sills, while the third floor contains seven 3/6 sash windows in plain reveals, with a continuous sill band that is interrupted at the curve.
The ground floor includes a six-panel door with an overlight featuring glazing bars in a tooled surround at the west end, with plate-glass windows and a glazed door at the angle. The building has copings, ridge, and end stacks, along with a continuous balcony on the first floor, which features a Carron Company double-heart-and-anthemion motif on the Bath Street facade.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Bath Street was a main street in the 18th-century village of Leamington. This building forms a group with No. 30 Bath Street.
