2, 3 and 4, Mount Beacon

Mount Beacon consists of three irregular terrace houses, numbered 2, 3, and 4, which step uphill from No. 2 on the left. No. 2 dates from the late 18th century and features an early 19th-century set-back left wing. The houses are constructed with incised render and have a steep double-pitched slate mansard roof, complete with a coped parapet and gable ends. The main block has a shared stack on the right party wall and flat-roofed sides on the left wing.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window front. It features late 19th-century horned two-over-two pane sash windows in two dormers, with returned coped parapets. The lower left wing's parapet rises to meet the gable end of the original block. There are cornices and ground floor platbands, with two tall four-over-four pane sash windows on the first floor, which are fronted by a scrolled wrought iron balcony supported by four brackets. The ground floor has horizontal glazing bars on the two-over-two pane sash windows, and the left first floor window has raised and fielded panels along with an overlight above a six-panel door located far left, set in a late 19th-century glazed porch.

No. 3 is similar but taller, featuring a rubblestone rear and a rendered front with painted stone window surrounds and doorcase. It has six-over-six pane sash windows and steps leading up to a set-back six-panel door, which is glazed at the top and framed by a moulded architrave, frieze, and cornice.

No. 4, built around 1840, is also taller and has a rendered finish with a double-pitched pantile roof and a moulded stack on the left party wall. This house has three storeys and a basement, with one window range. It features raised surrounds to 20th-century horned six-over-six pane sash windows, along with a ten-over-ten pane sash window in the basement. To the right, there is a two-storey 20th-century block.

The interiors have not been inspected, but No. 3 was recorded by the Bath Preservation Trust in 1993, noting that few original features remain. All sash windows have been replaced since 1979, and the plasterwork in the front rooms has also been altered.
