Description

No. 3 Ainslie's Belvedere is a house, likely built around 1806. It is constructed of limestone ashlar, painted to the front, with rubble stone to the rear, and has a double-pile, parapeted roof covered with Welsh slate to the front, although the rear covering is not visible. There are two ashlar chimney stacks, one with some early clay pots. The property has a front staircase.

The house is two storeys and a basement, with a two-window front. The first floor has two six/six sash windows, the left-hand window having horns and set slightly lower than the right. The ground floor features a six/six horned sash window with a simple balconette to the right and a three-panel door with two moulded panels, the upper panel featuring an applied moulding forming a diamond pattern, along with a wrought iron wreath knocker and small glazed panel at the top. The door is located within a stone porch with reeded stone sides and a timber cornice under a flat stone hood. A cast iron footscraper is present. The basement has an eight/eight sash window and a plank door with an overlight, concealed by a sloping grating covering the area in front of the vaults. A band course runs over the ground floor, and a moulded eaves cornice and coped parapet match those of No. 2 Ainslie's Belvedere. The rear elevation has six/six horned sash windows and a lead hopperhead and downpipe on the right. The interior has not been inspected.

Attached to the property are wrought iron railings with shaped heads on limestone bases. Historical records suggest William Ainslie was a lessee of a house in The Circus. The Bath Chronicle reported an auction of the estate known as Ainslie’s Belvedere in 1794. While initially dated to 1780, this house and No. 3 appear to be later additions to the original row of six houses, numbers 4 to 9, based on a date stone.
