6, Terrace Walk

No. 6 Terrace Walk is a shop with accommodation above, built around 1730, with a refronting in the late 18th century and alterations in the late 19th century. Designed by John Wood the Elder, it has a double depth plan with an entrance on the left.

The building stands three storeys tall. The ground floor features a double fronted shopfront with early 20th-century infill and a four-panelled door set within a unified pilaster surround from around 1830. The first and second floors have late 18th-century tripartite sash windows, with a six-over-six window flanked by four-over-four on the first floor, and a three-over-six window flanked by two-over-four above. There is a heavy cornice band at the second floor level that connects with Nos 4 and 5, as well as Nos 7-9 on the opposite side. The parapet is visible, while the roof is not seen from the front; however, there is an ashlar end stack with pots at the rear. The rear elevation is rendered and features a continuous heavy cornice at the second floor level. It has three windows, with a small paned window of four by six on the ground floor, and late 19th-century plain sashes on the first and second floors. A large stair window to the right measures four by ten.

The interior has not been inspected. This house is one of four built by John Wood shortly after 1728 and is shown projecting from the building line in his plan in "Essay towards the Description of Bath" from 1749. It was refronted in the late 18th century; the original design likely had three windows on the front, similar to the three still present at the back. The building is also depicted on the Plan for the City of Bath from 1735.
