NOS. 15, 15A, 16-21 (CONSEC) WITH PIERS AND RAILINGS

Nos. 15, 15A, 16-21 form a stepped terrace of eight houses, dating from the mid-19th century with alterations in the 20th century. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar, with concrete tile roofs, except for Nos. 15A, 16 and 20, which have slate roofs. The plan features a staircase and entrance on the left side, a deep plain ridge roof, and No. 15A is slightly higher and deeper than the others.

The houses are two storeys with an attic and a basement, appearing as a full three storeys to the rear. Each house has three windows above a single canted bay to the right, with plain sash windows. Nos. 15A and 17 have a single dormer, while Nos. 16 and 20 have two dormers each. No. 15, the end property, has an additional bay to the left. The basement windows are plain sashes, as are those on the ground floor. The canted bay has a cornice with a blocking course and a parapet. Each house has a four or six-panel door under a deep plain transom light, with a cornice hood supported by scroll consoles. A sill band, cornice, blocking course, and parapet sweep down at the party divisions, which are coped, with deep stacks except for No. 15A. No. 15 has a small square stack between bays one and two. Above the first-floor windows, there is a wide, shallow, sunk square frieze panel to each house.

The rear elevation is also in ashlar with eaves roofs, each containing two windows with various sashes, staggered, and with cantilevered extensions to all except No. 19. Interior inspections of Nos. 15A (in 1991) revealed that it had been converted to a surgery, with some features removed in the early 1990s. An inspection of No. 20 (in 1976) revealed an iron fireplace mantle and grates at the front, good front room rose and cornice details, and patterned, red-stained glass in the rear windows.

The houses are fronted by a low stone wall running along the street, with pairs of square stone piers and capping. The wall incorporates an ashlar return to the doorways and a front railing with alternate plain and hooped rails on a stone curb, enclosing the basement areas. This terrace is a late example of a Georgian design in Bath, largely unaltered externally, creating an interesting contrast with the terrace opposite. The irregular numbering likely indicates a later insertion, but this is not visible in the detailing.
