4, 5 And 6, Chapel Row

Nos. 4, 5, and 6 Chapel Row are three terrace houses built around 1734, with 19th and 20th-century alterations, designed by John Wood the Elder. They are constructed from limestone ashlar and feature slate roofs. The houses are three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and each has three windows, all of which are sash windows. The second-floor windows have eared architraves, while the first-floor windows have plain architraves with floating cornices and sills on brackets. Each house has a single dormer; Nos. 4 and 5 have plain sash windows, while No. 6 has twelve-pane sashes.

On the ground floor, No. 4 has a panelled door in an architrave to the left and a large plate glass display window with some glass block pavement lights. No. 5 is similar but has an altered mid-19th-century shop. No. 6 features a late 19th-century shopfront surround with a 1935 shop window, a deep central door, and an additional door to the left under a transom light. All three houses have a full-width fascia with a dentil cornice and consoles. The group does not have a platband, but there is a cornice with a shallow blocking course and a parapet, along with deep stacks to the left and coped party divisions at the ends only. This group of houses steps up from the adjacent group to the right.

The interior of No. 5 was inspected by Bath Council in 1981, revealing a panelled first-floor front room with original cornices, original stairs, and Doric colonnette banisters. Historically, these houses were part of a relatively low-status row designed by Wood the Elder as part of the western extension of the city, first rated in 1734. Although originally planned as a complete terrace of nine properties, there are slight differences in detail compared to Nos. 1-3. The street name comes from a chapel built by Wood nearby in 1732, which was demolished in 1875.
