11, Northampton Street

This is a house built after 1819, with a later addition of a second floor. Designed by G.P. Manners, it is part of a wider development that began around 1791 by Thomas Baldwin, trustee for William Pulteney. The development continued after 1794, following the bankruptcy of the original contractors, with elevations on leases signed by Thomas Chantry and John Pinch.

The house is constructed of limestone ashlar on the front and rear, with rendered brick forming the party wall on the left. It has a double-pile form, a pitched roof with a parapet to the front, and Welsh slate covering. Gable ends are topped with coped details and have two reconstituted Bath stone stacks on the left. The building is wider at the rear to accommodate the angle of the street.

The front facade is of three storeys and has a two-window arrangement. The first floor has eight/eight-pane sash windows with stone sills and a wrought iron balconette to the left. A similar six/six-pane sash window is on the right. The second floor features two six/six-pane sashes, also with stone sills, the left one protected with a wrought iron window guard. The ground floor has an eight/eight-pane sash window to the left and a six-panel door with reeded panels and fielded panels, featuring a plate glass fanlight in a round-headed reveal. A ten/ten-pane sash window, partially above ground and with a pavement grating, is set in the basement, accompanied by a smaller single-pane window to the left. Architectural details include a moulded cornice above the first floor, a lintel at eaves level, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation has glazing bar sashes and a small ground-floor lean-to extension.

The interior has not been inspected. During World War II, a section of the front wall of the adjacent building (formerly No. 10 Northampton Street) was damaged by bombing in 1942, impacting the lower part of the street.
