Nos. 1-5 (Consec) And Attached Walls And Gatepiers

Nos. 1-5 Hanover Place comprise a terrace of five early 19th century houses, with 20th century additions. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar with double-pitched slate roofs, incorporating pantile and concrete tiles to the rear. The roofs have moulded stacks to the party walls and right gable end. The plan form is double depth, with extensions to the rear.

The houses are two storeys high, each with a single window range except for No. 3, which has three windows. A continuous coped parapet and dentil cornice run along the top. Late 19th century plate glass two-light sash windows are present, with fine balconettes to the first floor. The windows have plain architraves, and the six-panel doors have bolection moulding. No. 3 is centrally positioned and stepped slightly forward, featuring chamfered arises and a blind central window above a semicircular arch containing a cobweb fanlight. No. 1 has 20th century windows and a door, and a separate entrance in Brunswick Street.

Interior inspection by Bath Council around 1980 revealed noteworthy features. No. 2 includes a fireplace with a Grecian urn in the middle of the frieze, a flower guard, and a double front sash window. The central staircase has been removed. No. 3 includes an early Victorian console fireplace and a glazed cupboard within the spine wall. A stone staircase features a fine inlaid handrail, and a Georgian fireplace is on the first floor. No. 4 retains many of its original features.

The front gardens are enclosed by a low wall with chamfered, rusticated gatepiers. The gatepiers are capped with swept, pyramidal caps and feature a wrought iron overthrow with quatrefoils flanking a former lantern.
