Description
House, dating to approximately 1777, later altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, and now used as flats. Designed by John Wood the Younger. The front of the house is constructed of limestone ashlar, while the rear is rendered. It has a mansard roof covered with Welsh slate, along with a coped party wall to the left. This wall incorporates two ashlar stacks, some of the original clay pots being shared with the adjacent properties at Nos. 15 and 15A Catharine Place. The house is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and features a three-window front. The first floor has three plate glass sash windows with horns, set within splayed, ovolo moulded architraves, incorporating friezes, cornices and console brackets supporting the stone sills. The second floor mirrors this design. The ground floor has two similar sash windows to the left, and a six-panel door to the right, with flush beaded panels, glazed sections, and a cast iron lion's mask knocker within a stone doorcase featuring a cyma moulded architrave and moulded cornice on console brackets. A pennant paved crossover, with a wrought iron footscraper, runs alongside the building. A small single-pane window is located to the right of the door. The basement has two six-pane sash windows, a 20th-century door set within an ashlar infill, and 20th-century area steps. A double dormer features plate glass, horned sashes. Architectural details include a band course over the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation has two-pane sash windows. An inspection by Bath Council in 1983 revealed a central ceiling rose in the front room of the first floor and an original staircase with a Doric newel and columnettes on the balusters. Attached to the front are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped tops, set on painted limestone bases.
