Description

A row of sixteen terrace houses, numbered 1 to 16, situated on a slight downhill slope from number 1 to the east. The houses were built between 1792 and 1800, with alterations occurring in the 19th and 20th centuries. They were designed by John Eveleigh for Richard Hewlett. The facades are of painted limestone ashlar, with rubble to the rear and a rendered right return at number 1. The roofs are double-pitched slate, with dormers and moulded brick stacks (two on the right-hand side).

The houses are three storeys and attics, featuring paired six/six-pane sash windows to the dormers, paired six/six-pane or plate glass sash windows to numbers 4 to 15, and tripartite upper floor windows to numbers 1, 2, 3 and 16. A coped parapet, cornice, and first floor sill band are present. Each house has a six-panel door to the left of the entrance, with various porches and ground floor windows. Number 8 has some crown glass in the first floor windows. Number 10 has a rusticated ground floor with incised voussoirs and a semicircular arch over the cobweb fanlight.

Interiors show varying degrees of original features. At number 9, the hall retains an original flagged stone floor, with black stone diamond insets, alongside later additions like a connecting arch to a 20th-century kitchen, a black painted stone fireplace without a grate, alcoves, and cupboards. The wooden staircase has closed stringing with balusters supporting each flight, and a mahogany handrail (painted on the upper floor). The first-floor drawing room features a fireplace with marbleised polished stone in black, brown, and dark green, with a cast iron grate and a shelf-style windowsill. A rear room has a fireplace of black marbleised stone with a stone mantle on a scroll bracket. Number 10 has a fairly narrow wooden staircase with small landings between floors. A Victorian bathroom is located between the ground and first floors, and a cloakroom between the first and second floors. The ground floor features renewed details and a Victorian fireplace, while the kitchen has two stone fireplace or range alcoves - original and with modern repairs, and an original ventilated larder door. The front door has an original fanlight, along with another over the inner vestibule door. One ceiling has a beam with a half-rosette decorated end. Double communicating doors, a Victorian fireplace, original floorboards, and a stone surround fireplace are also noted. Numbers 12 and 15 have original Georgian staircases with mahogany rails. Numbers 12, 14, and 15 retain several original fireplaces.

The houses were partially completed by 1794, with some being sold unfinished due to bankruptcy and a building slump in the mid-1790s. It is believed that the houses were built and inhabited by masons who worked extensively in Bath around the turn of the century, with the master mason reportedly residing at number 10.
