25, Milsom Street

25 Milsom Street is a terrace house that has been converted into a shop with offices above. It was built between 1761 and 1765, possibly designed by Thomas Jelly, and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The shopfront, created by Ellkington Gill, dates from 1868.

The building features limestone ashlar on both the front and rear, and has a double pile parapeted mansard roof covered with Welsh slate. The roof includes a coped party wall with two ashlar stacks on the right. The structure is three storeys tall, with an attic and a basement, and has a three-window front.

On the first floor, there are three two-light timber casements with tilting opening lights, set in ovolo moulded architraves with friezes and cornices, and a central pediment with lowered stone sills. The second floor contains three plate glass horned sashes in ovolo moulded eared architraves with stone sills. The ground floor features a 20th-century shopfront with a plate glass window on the right, and on the left, there is a six-panel door with flush beaded and fielded panels, topped by a plate glass overlight in a semicircular headed plain reveal, which includes 19th-century carved impost blocks and a moulded archivolt. A small grating in the pavement provides light to the basement.

The roof includes single and double dormers with two-light casements and plate glass sashes. The building is finished with a modillion eaves cornice and a coped parapet. A lead downpipe is attached to the left side from No. 24 Milsom Street, and there is a moulded lead hopperhead and downpipe on the right shared with No. 26 Milsom Street. The rear elevation, which is partially visible, has plate glass and two-over-two horned sashes on the second floor, along with two single dormers featuring plate glass sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
