17, LYNDALE (See details for further address information)

No. 17 Lyndale is a terrace house built in 1781, constructed from limestone ashlar. It has a wide frontage and consists of three storeys and a basement, featuring three sash windows. The upper windows have six panes above a large margin pane, all set in a slightly sunk arched panel. The ground floor has a margin pane sash on each side of a panelled door, which is in an arched opening with a keystone and is topped with a radial and swagged fanlight. There is a small basement area on each side, with the left side featuring a grille and simple spiked railings.

The interior of No. 17 was recorded by the Bath Preservation Trust in 1994. It has cornices but lacks a ceiling rose. The original windows have been slightly altered, with two upright glazing bars removed. The house features a stone cantilevered staircase with wooden balusters, occasionally mixed with metal ones. The rear of the house has little original detail remaining, but the drawing room showcases elaborate cornice detail. The front door is a copy of the neighboring property’s door and includes a fan light. There is a curved cantilevered stone staircase set in a curved wall, with a mahogany rail and modern metal banisters. A narrow metal handrail has been copied from the original design. At the top of the stairs, there is a window set in a recessed arch, similar to a window at the top of the first floor. The first floor retains much of its original moulding and decoration, while the second floor rear bedroom features a fine decorated cast iron hob with opposed semi-circles and a reeded moulded surround.
