1-5, Bathwick Hill

This is a row of five terrace houses, now shops, running downhill from number 1 to the left. They were built around 1800, with alterations made in the early 19th century and the 20th century. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar and have double-pitched slate roofs with decorative stacks on the party walls.

The houses have a double-depth plan and three storeys. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 each have a two-window front. They feature coped parapets and cornices; those on numbers 2 and 3 are continuous. The first-floor windows are six-pane sash windows with cornices supported by consoles. Moulded sills are found on the shop windows.

Number 1 has a shop front dating to around 1820-1830, with windows added around 1887 by Browne and Gill. The shop front includes a cornice over the fascia, an ornamental six-panel door and overlight to the right, and a half-glazed central shop door and overlight, flanked by segmental arched plate glass shop windows with two-pane overlights. Slender panelled pilasters with lion-head tops decorate the front, with similar pilasters to the right of the door.

Numbers 4 and 5 are set forward and symmetrical, arranged as a three-window range, with blind windows set into the party wall. Continuous sill bands and cornices adorn the shop fascias.

Number 2 has an early 19th-century shop front with a projecting cornice over the fascia, a six-panel door to the far left, a half-glazed shop door to the inside left, and a three-pane plate glass shop window to the right, all fitted with semi-elliptical arched overlights.

Number 3 has a shop front altered around 1820-1830. It features a similar door to the left as number 2, pilasters mirroring those of number 1, and a half-glazed door to the right with a large pierced cast iron trellised overlight. A 20th-century plate glass shop window has a four-pane overlight.

Number 4 has a similar door to the left with a plain overlight and a 20th-century shop front. Number 5 has a six-pane window set into a blocked shop front, and a set-back range to the right containing a door.

The interiors were not inspected, but number 3 has a pair of brass and ebony pull-handles on the shop door. The later windows of number 1 were designed by Brown & Gill, Architects, in around 1887.
