Description

This is a house, now converted into flats, dating from around 1775 (with a lease from around 1774). It was likely designed by Thomas Warr Atwood and developed by The Corporation of Bath and Richard Atwood. The house is constructed from limestone ashlar to both the front and rear, and features a double-pile parapeted mansard roof. The front has Welsh slate, while the rear has artificial slate, with a coped party wall to the left. Two ashlar stacks are present, incorporating some early clay pots. A staircase is situated to the rear.

The house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, presenting a three-window front. The first floor has three plate glass sash windows with hornets, set in plain reveals where the architraves have been removed, with splayed jambs, cornices, and lowered moulded stone sills supported by console brackets. The second floor mirrors this pattern with ovolo moulded architraves. The ground floor has two sash windows in plain reveals with splayed jambs, stone sills, and to the right, an eight-panel door with fielded panels, a cast iron wreath knocker within a cyma moulded architrave, flat surround, and heavy moulded console brackets supporting a moulded cornice hood. A pennant paved crossover, flush with the pavement and featuring a cast iron footscraper, leads to the door. The basement has one six-over-six sash window with a stone sill, and a similar window to the left, now partly infilled with a glazed door in an ashlar surround. Area steps with pennant treads, partially rebuilt in concrete, have a wrought iron handrail. Three dormers with plate glass sashes are present on the roof. The rear elevation boasts a full-height canted bay with six-over-six sash windows to the ground floor, second floor, and dormers; first-floor windows are nine-over-nine horned sashes, two of which have wrought iron balconettes.

The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the property are wrought iron railings and a gate, supported by limestone bases with shaped heads.
