Number 42 And Attached Railings

Number 42 is a house, later used as a shop with a flat, built around 1818 to 1836, with subsequent additions and alterations including a mid-to-late 20th-century shop front to the ground floor. The exterior is brick in Flemish bond, painted on the right-hand side, with painted stucco to the front facade and unpainted stucco to the rear. The roof is concealed with cast-iron railings and balconies.

The house is three storeys high, with three windows on the first floor. The first floor has 16-pane French windows with 4-pane overlights, plain reveals, tooled architraves, and a continuous moulded sill band. The second floor has three 3/6 sash windows with plain reveals and a continuous sill band. A frieze and modillion cornice run along the top. The ground floor features an entrance to the left, with five roll-moulded steps and one plain step leading to a six-fielded-panel door with an overlight containing glazing bars, fielded-panel reveals, and an architrave with a pediment. Rustication remains on the left side, otherwise the ground floor is occupied by a shop front. A hipped roof tops the building. First-floor windows have individual balconies.

The right-hand return is four storeys high with a basement, and has two windows per bay. It features a plinth and blind openings to all storeys in the first bay, with mainly 6/6 sash windows in the remaining bays, all within flat, channelled arches topped with taller keystones. A small inserted 4-pane casement is located in the upper right corner. A fixed light window is set into the basement on the left.

The interior has not been inspected.

Attached railings to the left of the entrance and enclosing the area have bars with fleur-de-lys finials.

Bath Street was an important street in the 18th century village of Leamington.
