11, 12 AND 13, BATHWICK HILL

This is an irregular terrace of three houses, numbered 11, 12, and 13, located on Bathwick Hill. They were built around 1820. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar, with rubble stone to the side returns, and have slate roofs with moulded stacks marking the party walls and returns.

No. 11 has two storeys facing the street, with a lower ground floor at the rear. It has an irregular two-window façade. A coped parapet runs along the front and the right gable end. The front has a painted stone doorcase with festoons on the frieze, panelled pilasters, and a six-panel door. Above the door is a tall, six-over-six pane sash window with radial glazing bars at the top. There is also a six-over-six pane sash window on each of the upper floors.

No. 12 is three storeys with a lower ground floor and a nearly symmetrical three-window front. It features a coped parapet, cornice, and a sill band at the first floor level. The six-over-six pane sash windows on the first floor each have cornices supported by consoles. The central window is blind. A painted doorcase has Tuscan pilasters, a cornice, and a frieze. The door is a late 19th-century four-panel door with a small window to the side. A narrow section to the left has a small 20th-century window on each floor.

No. 13 steps back slightly, and the rear elevation is significantly lower than the front. It has three storeys and a lower ground floor, with a two-window front. A coped cornice extends over the left gable ends. There is a cornice and a first-floor sill band with scrolled balconettes on the windows. The upper floors have six-over-six pane sash windows, while the ground floor on the left has an eight-over-eight pane sash window. A six-panel, glazed door is flanked by Tuscan pilasters supporting a cornice and frieze on the far right. One of the houses has a cast iron balcony on the rear first floor. The interiors have not been inspected. These houses were built during the middle period of development on Bathwick Hill, and represent a shift away from earlier layouts of detached villas.
