South Hayes House

South Hayes House is a detached house dating from the mid-18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a slate roof. The house has an L-shaped plan, with a single depth and steeply pitched gables to the north and west, hipped to the return. A small additional bay was added to the left side. The street facade is two-and-a-half storeys with a three-window arrangement of plain sash windows and a central five-panel door. The door has a wide, raised surround with a thin cornice, and the top panel is glazed. A ridge stack is located off-centre to the left. The right return features two wide, arched bays to the eaves, with a central stack, a small window above, and twelve-pane sashes to the ground floor. The outer gable is coped and the rear is said to contain a blocked, chamfered stone mullioned window, as previously recorded. The interior has not been inspected. The steep roof pitch and plan suggest that an earlier building may lie behind the facade. A building is marked on the site on a 1793 plan of Bath by Harcourt Masters.
