Description
A symmetrical pair of houses dating to around 1820. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar with an unseen roof and moulded stacks to the party wall and returns. They have a double-depth plan.
The houses are two storeys and a basement, with a seven-window front. There is a coved niche and a blind window to the party wall, and the recessed, lower side ranges create a symmetrical facade. Returned coped parapets, cornices, and lintel friezes are present. The central five ranges slightly step forward, with a first floor sill band over chamfered rustication and tall voussoirs to the ground floor, while the side ranges have first floor sill string courses. The windows are six/six-pane sash windows, and those to the central block feature balconettes. There are six-panel doors. The left-hand house (No. 5) has horns to the restored windows in the left wing, and a mid-to-late 19th-century swept hipped canopy on brackets over the six-panel door. The right-hand house (No. 6) has restored windows with horns. The interiors were not inspected.
The front gardens are enclosed by square section railings on plinths, with double gates. The gates have concave-curved tops and overthrows with key-pattern panels and scrolls that sweep up to lamp holders.
These houses are part of a characteristic Regency suburban development reflecting the influence of the Greek Revival on Bath’s domestic architecture.
