Description
Terrace of seven dwellings, now shops with flats over, dating from circa 1818 to 1836 with later additions and alterations including mid-20th century ground-floor shop fronts. The building is located in Royal Leamington Spa, with its main frontage on Bath Street and a return front onto High Street.
The structure is constructed in reddish-brown brick laid in English Garden Wall bond with painted stucco front and side facades, Welsh slate roofs and cast-iron balconies. The plan is double-depth with side entrances; the facade is U-shaped on plan with curved angles, with returns to Regent Place and High Street.
The Bath Street elevation rises to four storeys with 23 first-floor windows, and a further range to Regent Place of three lower storeys with one first-floor window. The centre and ends of the Bath Street facade project slightly.
The lower range on the left has a tall tripartite window to the first floor comprising two 2/2 sashes with margin-lights between two 2/2 sashes in plain reveals within an architrave of fielded pilasters and triple frieze with moulded pediment. The second floor has a tripartite sash with a 2/2 sash with margin-lights between 1/1 sashes.
The main range features fielded pilaster strips running through the second and first floors, flanking various windows and angles. The first floor contains four 4-pane French windows with divided overlights and blind openings, a similar French window, twelve tall 6/9 sashes, a blind opening, a 6/9 sash, and two 10-pane French windows with divided overlights and side-lights; all set within tooled architraves. The second floor has four 6/6 sashes, blind openings, and otherwise mainly 6/6 sashes with exceptions including a 12-pane casement and blind openings; all in plain reveals with tooled architraves (missing to windows 16 and 17) and sills, with frieze and cornice. The third floor repeats the pilaster strips and contains four 3/6 sashes, blind openings, three 3/6 sashes, two 6/6 sashes, seven 3/6 sashes, casement windows, and blind openings; all in plain reveals with tooled architraves to the first 15 windows. Cornice, frieze, copings surmount the design; pilasters are topped by acroteria. All windows to the angles are curved on plan.
The ground floor has been entirely replaced with 20th century glazed shop fronts.
A continuous cast-iron balcony with Carron Company double-heart-and-anthemion motif spans windows 12, 13 and 14 of the main range at the centre of the Bath Street facade. Balconettes with circle-and-anthemion motif serve windows 15 and 16. The building has tall ridge and rear stacks with cornices.
The rear elevation shows a 9/9 sash staircase window to number 41, a 12/12 sash staircase window to number 47, and otherwise mainly 6/6 sashes to the first and second floors (some 8/8 sashes), with mainly 3/6 sashes to the third floor.
Historically, Bath Street was a main street of the 18th-century village of Leamington. This building forms an architectural group with numbers 29-33 (odd) Bath Street, numbers 1, 3 and 5 Regent Place, and numbers 21-27 (odd) High Street.
