Description
17 and 18 Darlington Place are a pair of terrace houses built in the early 19th century, with some alterations from the late 19th and 20th centuries. They are constructed from limestone ashlar and feature slate roofs, each with two modern dormers and moulded stacks on the coped party wall. The houses have a double depth plan and are two storeys high with attics and a lower ground floor, each having two window ranges.
No. 17, located on the right, has plate glass sash windows at varying heights and a lower section made of squared limestone rubble. It features a projecting hip-roofed wing, and from the middle of the right return stack, an arch-like flying buttress rises to meet the first-floor corner, extending above the parapet of No. 16 next door. The entrance is positioned at the far right on the street line, marked by a late 19th-century ashlar doorcase with a pedimented parapet over a shouldered arch and a six-panel door that leads to a long glazed corridor.
No. 18 is slightly lower and has modern dormers with eight-over-eight pane sash windows, along with original six-over-six pane sashes. The first-floor window on the right has a chamfered architrave, while the ground floor right features a balconette, and the lower ground floor has an eight-over-eight pane sash. The first floor includes a low projecting porch on the left that slightly overhangs the ground floor, with a coped parapet, cornice, and a modern horned four-over-four pane sash window. A modern lean-to hood covers the five-panel door, which has a glazed horizontal top panel.
The interiors have not been inspected. This development is part of the Bathwick Estate and is named after Henry Vane, the 4th Earl of Darlington, who inherited the estate from the Countess of Bath in 1808. John Pinch the Elder was involved in much of the estate's development.
