No. 35 And Attached Railings

No. 35 is a house, later converted to flats, dating from approximately 1754, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of limestone ashlar to the front, now painted, with rubble to the right side and rear. The roof is a mansard with Welsh Slate to the front and double Roman tiles to the rear, and features two ashlar and rubble stacks with early clay pots, set against a coped gable wall on the right.

The building is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a three-window front. The first floor has three two-pane sashes in splayed reveals with lowered stone sills. The second floor has three plate glass, horned sashes in cyma moulded architraves with stone sills. The ground floor has two plate glass, horned sashes in splayed reveals with stone sills to the right, and a six-panel door with a two-pane overlight in a plain reveal with splayed jambs to the left; a single step leads to a Pennant paved crossover with a pair of 19th-century cast iron footscrapers. A six/six sash window and a tilt-opening window are present in the basement, along with a 20th-century door with overlight set within ashlar infilling. Two single dormers with six/six sashes are visible in the roof. A timber bressummer overhangs the door on the left of the ground floor, and a modillion eaves cornice continues with No. 34 Belvedere. A lead hopperhead is positioned to the left. The rear elevation features 19th and 20th-century two-light casements opening onto a balcony, plate glass sashes to the ground and second floors, and 20th-century windows to double dormers. An ashlar extension is present at basement level, and a lead hopperhead is visible at eaves to the right.

The interior, recorded by the Bath Preservation Trust in 1991, includes a central staircase with an octagonal roof light and decorative plasterwork. The staircase is a dog-leg open string wooden stair with three balusters per tread. Grey marble fireplaces with cast iron grates are present, along with six-panel doors and moulded architraves.

Attached to the front are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on painted bases. No. 35 was originally part of a larger house shared with Nos. 34 and 36, incorporating the principal rooms and main staircase. The building was used as a “Home for Idiot Girls” in 1861, according to census records.
