Description

No. 1 Henrietta Street is an end terrace house built around 1792 by Thomas Baldwin, forming part of a larger architectural scheme. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a slate mansard roof that is hipped to the left, with moulded stacks on the party walls. The plan is irregular and almost triangular, tapering towards the rear.

The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-window range. The facade is adorned with a modillioned pediment, a modillion cornice, and an entablature. Moulded sill strings are present on the second and first floors, while a ground floor platband extends over Nos. 2-5 Henrietta Street to the right. The windows are horned six-over-six pane sashes, with the central first-floor window featuring a semicircular arch and radial glazing bars. This window is topped by a cornice supported by moulded consoles with acanthus bases, and a frieze decorated with double wheat-ear festoons and ribbons.

The ground floor is chamfered and rusticated, with radial voussoirs above three equal openings. The right opening contains a set-back six-panel door with glazing at the top and an elaborate overlight. The left return has one window and is canted into Laura Place, flanked by a grand order of fluted Corinthian pilasters, marking the right terminal of the symmetrical terrace.

The interior has not been inspected. This part of Henrietta Street appears on Chantry's 1793 plan of Bath, and the house is listed Grade I due to its close association with Laura Place, which is recognized as one of the outstanding examples of town planning in late 18th century England.
