Description
No. 10 Catharine Place is a house, now converted into flats, built around 1777, with later 19th and 20th-century alterations. It was designed by John Wood the Younger. The front of the building is faced with limestone ashlar, while the plinth to the basement is of rubble, and the rear is of rubble and rendered. It has a double-pile, parapeted mansard roof, the mansard extending to the front, covered with Welsh slate. There are two ashlar chimney stacks to the left, set on the coped party wall with No. 11 Catharine Place.
The house is three storeys high, with an attic, basement and sub-basement, and has a three-window facade. The first floor has two plate glass, horned sash windows to the left, and a four/four sash window to the right, all set within splayed, ovolo moulded architraves with friezes and cornices, and lowered, moulded stone sills resting on console brackets. The second floor mirrors this arrangement with two plate glass, horned sash windows to the left, featuring wrought iron balconettes, and a six/six sash window to the right, all with ovolo moulded architraves and stone sills. The ground floor has two plate glass, horned sash windows in splayed reveals and stone sills, and a six-panel door with a flush, ovolo moulded single-glazed panel within a stone doorcase featuring a cyma moulded architrave and moulded cornice on console brackets. A concreted crossover is flush with the pavement, and a smaller two-pane window is set in a plain reveal with a stone sill to the right of the door. The basement has two plate glass sashes in plain reveals with stone sills, a 20th-century door in an ashlar infilling under the crossover, and a blocked opening to a sub-basement beneath the window to the right. Two plate glass sashes are set within moulded architraves to the front of the mansard.
A band course runs over the ground floor, and there is a modillion eaves cornice and a coped parapet; a lead hopperhead is visible at the eaves to the right. The rear elevation features four/four and plate glass sashes, with aluminium windows to the ground floor and the mansard. A small, 20th-century extension is constructed in reconstituted stone.
Inside, the staircase has Doric newel posts and columettes on the balusters, and there are double connecting doors on the first floor. In 1986, Bath Council inspected the interior.
Attached to the front of the building are wrought iron railings with shaped heads, set on limestone bases.
