1-6, Albion Terrace

Albion Terrace comprises a row of six houses built around 1820. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar and have double-pitched roofs covered in double Roman tiles, with decorative stacks to the left of each house. Each house has three storeys and a basement, with a two-window frontage. A continuous parapet, a stopped cornice, a sill band to the second floor, and a platband to the ground floor run along the terrace. The windows are six-pane sash windows. The front doors, located to the right of each house, are six-panel doors with reeded surrounds to the lower panels and fielded panels with inset corners above. The door openings decrease in height from left to right. Numbers 1, 3, and 6 have 20th-century windows. Numbers 1 and 6 have cast iron balconettes to the ground floor windows. Number 1 has a painted ground floor and a lintel frieze above the door featuring a lozenge motif. Number 2 has a moulded lintel above the door with a neoclassical relief of crossed torches between branches. Number 3 has a wide moulded lintel with a lozenge motif. Numbers 4 and 5 have inverted corners to the upper panels of the doors and reeded ones to the base. Number 6 has horizontal bars to simple first-floor balconettes. The interiors have not been inspected. Albion Terrace is a characteristic late Regency terrace and was part of the western expansion of Bath, originally situated on the city’s edge.
