Description
This is a three-storey house with an attic and basement, built around 1775, and later converted into flats during the 20th century. It was likely designed by Thomas Warr Atwood and developed by The Corporation of Bath and Richard Atwood. The front of the house is faced with limestone ashlar, while the rear has a combination of ashlar and rubble construction. It features a mansard roof with Welsh slate to the front and artificial slate to the rear.
The house has a symmetrical three-window facade. The first floor has three plate glass sash windows with ovolo moulded architraves, friezes and cornices, supported by console brackets and wrought iron balconies. The second floor has a similar arrangement of sash windows. On the ground floor, there are two sash windows to the left and a substantial eight-panel door with a six-pane overlight to the right, set within a moulded architrave. The basement includes two sash windows and a door with a six-pane window in the surrounding ashlar. A pennant paved crossover with a central slab leads to the pavement, featuring a cast iron footscraper. A double dormer window is situated on the roof. Architectural details include a band course over the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, a coped parapet, a lead hopperhead, and a lead downpipe.
The rear elevation shows two and three-light sash windows, with a wrought iron balcony on the second half-landing. The interior has not been inspected, and a coped party wall adjoins the property on both sides, each featuring an ashlar stack with early clay pots. The stack on the right is shared with No. 24 Bennett Street. Attached to the front are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on limestone bases.
