10 Rivers Street and attached railings

A terrace house, built between 1770 and 1775 and later altered in the 20th century, designed by John Wood the Younger. The front is faced with limestone ashlar, painted on the ground floor, while the rear is a mix of ashlar and rubble. The roof is a mansard style with Welsh slate on the front slope and double Roman tiles on the rear slope, and a coped party wall with two ashlar stacks topped with early clay pots. A staircase is located to the rear.

The house is three stories high, with an attic and a basement, and has a three-window front. The first floor features three plate glass sash windows with iron balconettes. The second floor has three six-pane sash windows. The ground floor has two plate glass sash windows to the right, and a six-panel door with reeded panels, a glazed upper section, and a cast iron lion's mask knocker within a pedimented Doric doorcase. A stone step leads to a pennant paved crossover with a wrought iron foot-scraper. The basement has two six-pane sash windows and a plank door with wrought iron hinges and latch, with a three-pane overlight, set within an ashlar infill. Modern area steps provide access to the basement. A double dormer window is situated in the attic with plate glass sashes. A band course runs above the ground floor, and a modillion cornice and coped parapet connect with No. 11 Rivers Street. A lead hopperhead and downpipe are attached to the right side of the building.

The rear elevation, partially visible, has six-pane sash windows on the second floor, and two-pane sash windows in the dormers. The interior of the property has not been inspected.

Attached to the front are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on limestone bases.

Rivers Street was developed by John Wood the Younger using land acquired through perpetual leases and ground rents from various sources. A number of Bath builders were involved in the construction of the terrace, implementing Wood's designs.
