Pierrepont House

Pierrepont House is a house dating to around 1815, built as part of the Manvers Estate and altered in the late 19th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a hidden roof. The house fronts both Pierrepont Street and Henry Street, with a single bay facing Pierrepont Street, a single bay at the cambered corner, and two bays facing Henry Street. The windows are late 19th-century plate glass sashes, except for a first-floor French casement opening onto an iron balcony at the corner. The ground floor has original six-pane sashes, and first-floor windows have individual balconies. An arched doorway contains a six-panel door and a radiating fanlight. A platband runs along the first floor, and there is a cornice above. Small attic windows are present, along with a parapet concealing the roof. Chimneys have decorative pots. The rear elevation is mostly rubble, with a ground-floor projection featuring a late 19th-century oriel window. The interior has not been inspected. The house is located on part of the Manvers Estate, which was sold in 1874, and the alterations likely occurred after this date. Henry Street was originally planned as part of a projected Kingston Square, being one of the first two houses built on that undeveloped site, according to an 1810 plan of Bath.
