No. 22 With Railings

No. 22 is a house dating from around 1764 to 1770, located at the east end of a long terrace in New King Street. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and has a slate roof. The building features a symmetrical wide frontage and a shallow design, with a double hipped roof and a short return to New King Street.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a basement, with three windows. All windows are twelve-pane sashes set in moulded architraves, with straight cornices above the first floor, while the second floor on the right is blind. There is a sill band at the first floor level. The ground floor has a panelled door within a pedimented pilaster doorcase, accessed by three steps, alongside another glazed door in a similar doorcase without a pediment to the right. The building has a plinth, a platband over the first floor, a modillion cornice with a blocking course, and a parapet that returns to the right. The right return has two bays with twelve-pane sashes, including one on the ground floor in splayed surrounds, and a basement. The left return features a single twelve-pane sash at each level, set in plain reveals, with a thin full-width drip course above each. There are two broad stacks at the rear of each ridge.

The interior of No. 22 was inspected by Bath Council in the 1980s. The ground floor retains remnants of a chair rail behind a wall cupboard, a marble fireplace, and an early Victorian grate. The south room has original architraving and a dado sill, along with an original fireplace featuring a Victorian grate. In the basement, there are remains of a Tudor style arched fireplace. The first floor has lowered Victorian sashes in the north room, a stone fireplace with a partially original stone architrave and a Victorian grate. The original staircase includes Doric newels and colonnettes, with a closed string.

To the left of the doorway and to the right of the second door returning to New King Street, there are plain railings on a stone curb.
