Description
This house, now flats, was likely built around 1775, based on a lease dated 1774. It was probably designed by Thomas Warr Atwood, developed by The Corporation of Bath and Richard Atwood, and constructed by John Fielder. The front of the house is faced with limestone ashlar, although the rear is not visible. It has a double pile, parapeted mansard roof, covered with Welsh slate at the front and artificial slate at the rear, and features coped party walls with two ashlar stacks to the left, and a rear stack without pots. The plan likely includes a cross staircase.
The house is three storeys high, with an attic and basement. The front has a three-window arrangement. The first floor has three nine-over-nine sash windows set within splayed, ovolo moulded architraves, featuring friezes and cornices with lowered moulded stone sills sitting on console brackets supporting wrought iron balconettes. The second floor mirrors this with six-over-six sash windows in similar architraves and stone sills. The ground floor has two six-over-six sash windows to the left, a six-panel door to the right, and an infill section under a crossover. The six-panel door has four fielded panels, one glazed panel above, and a cast iron wreath knocker within a cyma moulded architrave surrounded by heavy console brackets supporting a moulded cornice hood. A pennant paved crossover is flush with the pavement and includes a cast iron footscraper. The basement has a six-over-six sash window protected by wrought iron guard bars, a door with a six-panel and six-pane overlight, and an ashlar infill section where the crossover begins. Limestone steps with pennant inserts and a wrought iron handrail lead down to the street. There are two dormers with six-over-six windows. The exterior also features a band course over the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, a coped parapet, and a moulded lead hopperhead at the eaves on the left side. The rear elevation, partially visible, has plate glass sash windows on the second floor and dormers.
The interior has not been inspected.
Attached to the property are wrought iron railings and a gate with a shaped head on limestone bases, and a decorative wrought iron overthrow with urn finials, scrollwork, and a lampholder. A bronze plaque commemorates that Admiral Phillip lived at the address from 1806 to 1814.
