The Regina and attached railings

The Regina is a large house with attached railings, built in the 18th century. It has undergone rebuilding on the left side in a similar style to the original. The front elevation is limestone ashlar, with rubble and reconstituted Bath Stone to the rear. The roof is a Welsh slate mansard to the front and sides, with artificial slate to the rear and a flat roof. There are three ashlar ridge stacks, and a large ashlar stack with early clay pots on the coped party wall to the rear right, adjacent to number 2 Russell Street.

The front of the house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a twelve-window front. The first floor has twelve six-over-nine pane sashes with splayed ovolo-moulded architraves, lowered moulded stone sills on console brackets, friezes, and moulded cornices. The second floor has twelve six-over-six pane sashes in ovolo-moulded architraves with stone sills, and the ground floor has twelve six-over-six pane sashes in splayed reveals with stone sills. The basement has two 20th-century doors to the left and centre left, and nine six-over-six pane sashes, and one similar unhorned sash, with stone sills, three to the right in splayed reveals. Ten dormers, each with a six-over-six pane sash, are set into the roof. A continuous band course runs over the ground floor, and there is a modillion eaves cornice and a coped parapet.

The right side, facing Russell Street, is three storeys, attic and basement, with a seven-window range. The first floor has a Venetian window to the right with six-over-six, nine-over-nine, and six-over-six horned sashes, with fan glazing to the head of the upper centre sash. To the left there is a similar blind Venetian window. A six-over-six horned sash is centrally placed. The second floor has grouped four-over-four, six-over-six, and four-over-four horned sashes to the right, and similar blind windows to the left. The ground floor has grouped four-over-four, six-over-six, and four-over-four horned sashes to the left and right, and a pair of 20th-century doors to the centre, with side lights and a simple fanlight in a round headed reveal. A Pennant paved crossover is flush with the pavement. The basement has a pair of 20th-century plank doors to an electricity substation and a 20th-century door under the crossover. There are two double and one single dormer with six-over-six horned sashes. A band course runs over the ground floor with “RUSSELL-STREET” incised to the left, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation has 20th-century windows and shows evidence of bomb damage.

The interior was not inspected.

The attached railings and two gates have shaped heads on limestone bases.
