28, Northampton Street

28 Northampton Street is a house built after 1819 by GP Manners. The building features limestone ashlar on the front and rear, a double pile roof with a parapet at the front, and a coped party wall to the right. The roof has double Roman tiles, and two stacks have been rebuilt in reconstituted Bath stone, with some early clay pots.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a basement with a single window front. The first floor has a six/eight-sash window in a plain reveal with a stone sill and a wrought iron balconette. The second floor has two two/two-horned sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills. On the ground floor, to the right is an eight/eight-sash window in a plain reveal with a stone sill, and to the left is a six-panel door featuring reeded and fielded panels with voided corners, accompanied by a cast iron wreath knocker and a fanlight above with intersecting glazing bars in a round-headed plain reveal. The basement has a sash window that is largely concealed by a glazed panel in a splayed reveal, partially above ground, with a grating in the pavement. The building has a moulded cornice over the first floor, a lintel at the eaves, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation, which is partially visible, includes glazing bar sashes and a two-light window at the second half landing of the staircase.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Northampton Street and the surrounding development began around 1791, designed by Thomas Baldwin for William Pulteney. The project continued from 1794 after the bankruptcy of the main contractors, with elevations on leases signed by Thomas Chantry and John Pinch. The work was completed after 1819, with plans and elevations on leases signed by GP Manners. The lower part of the street was significantly affected by bomb damage in 1942 and subsequent redevelopment.
