No. 7 And Attached Railings

No. 7 and attached railings, known as Ainslie's Belvedere, is a house dating from around 1780. It features limestone ashlar on the front and rear, with rubble below the basement windows. The building has a double pile parapeted roof covered with artificial slate at the front, while the covering at the rear is not visible. A single large stack with early clay pots is located against the flank wall of No. 5 Ainslie's Belvedere.

The exterior consists of three storeys, a basement, and a sub-basement, with a two-window front. The first floor has two plate glass horned sash windows set in splayed reveals with stone sills, while the second floor has two similar windows. On the ground floor, there is one similar window with a 20th-century balconette to the right, and to the left, a five-panel door featuring flush reeded and fielded panels. This door is set in a stone doorcase with a cyma moulded architrave in a flat surround, supported by heavy moulded console brackets that hold a moulded cornice forming a hood above. The crossover is paved with pennant stone and is flush with the pavement. The basement includes a six-over-six sash window in a plain reveal with a stone sill, and a 20th-century door in a plank screen beneath the crossover. The building has a band course over the ground floor, a moulded eaves cornice, and a coped parapet.

At the rear, there is a plate glass horned sash window with border glazing on the ground and first floors, two two-over-two sash windows on the second floor, a casement window in the basement, and a 20th-century conservatory at the sub-basement level. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have a dog-leg staircase with two turned balusters per tread and shaped cheek-pieces.

The attached wrought iron railings have shaped heads on limestone bases. The house is dated to 1780 by Ison, and the Bath Chronicle reported an auction of the estate known as Ainslie's Belvedere, which included six substantial dwelling houses, on November 27, 1794. William Ainslie was one of the original lessees of a house in The Circus.
