Kingston House

Kingston House is a house dating to circa 1808, built as part of the projected (but unrealised) Kingston Square in Bath. It was constructed under a lease from the Manvers Estate. The house is of limestone ashlar construction, with a hidden roof. It has a double-depth plan and features three bays. The front elevation is three storeys high, with a full attic and basement. The ground floor has a doorway with an arched head, a six-panel door, and a radiating fanlight. It has two plain sash windows. Wrought iron area railings are present, and the basement has six-over-six sash windows. The first floor has six-over-nine sash windows with a continuous iron balcony. The second floor has two-over-two sash windows. A cornice runs along the top, and there are three small attic windows, with an ashlar stack lacking pots. The rear elevation has a modern extension built of rubble with freestone dressings and three late 18th-century-style sash windows on each floor. The interior of the house has not been inspected. Kingston House was included in the sale of the Manvers Estate in 1874 and is depicted on the 1810 edition of the Harcourt Masters 'Plan of Bath'.
