Description
Emberton House comprises a terrace of three houses situated on the south side of Bathwick Street, at the corner of Daniel Street. The houses date to the early 19th century. They are constructed of limestone ashlar with slate roofs, featuring moulded stacks to the party walls and returns.
The three-storey houses have an attic and basement. They display a continuous coped parapet, a cornice, sill bands to the second and first floors, and impost bands to the ground floor on the Bathwick Street frontage. The windows are predominantly six-over-six pane sashes. The roof of No. 36, Emberton House, is hipped to the corner, with a front dormer containing a six-over-six pane sash window, and two two-over-two pane sashes in return dormers. This house has two windows at the front, with semicircular arched recesses to the second and first floors, the left of which is blind. The three-window return elevation features an eight-panel door with glazed upper panels, set within a moulded architrave with cornice and frieze. Adjacent to the door is a blind semicircular arched window with radial glazing bars, and a blind six-over-six pane sash above.
Nos. 37 and 38 are set back, with plain blind windows to the party wall. They each have semicircular arched recesses to the first and ground floor windows, balconettes to the first floor, and a door to the left. No. 37 is one window wide, with tripartite sash windows including a dormer, six-over-six panes to the upper floors and plate glass sashes to the ground floor. It has an eight-panel door in a painted architrave. No. 38 has a similar door with a pediment on consoles, plate glass windows, a small half-window inserted into the second floor blind window, and paired windows to a dormer. The interiors have not been inspected.
