Grosvenor House

Grosvenor House is an end-terrace house dating to 1791, with 19th and 20th-century alterations. It was designed by John Eveleigh and is located on the South side of Grosvenor Place in Bath. The building is stepped slightly back from the street due to the sloping ground to the rear, with the main entrance situated in the right return. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a double-pitched slate mansard roof and moulded stacks to the left party wall. The plan is double depth.

The three-storey house, along with a lower ground floor and attic, has a three-window range facing London Road and a four-window range facing west. It features a returned coped parapet, cornice, frieze, second-floor sill band, and first-floor sill band. The windows are plate glass sashes. Several windows are blind, including those to the right of the London Road facade, the centre of the first floor, and the left of the ground floor. A fine cast iron balconette is located to the left of the first floor on the London Road facade, matching the balustrade on the west facade. The west-facing facade has a full-height, shallow segmental bow to the left, featuring two windows, with those on the first floor being full height and fitted with sliding louvered shutters that open onto a canopied veranda with a fine balustrade of lozenge and key pattern supports. Shutters are also present on the lower windows. Two windows to the right of each upper floor are blind. A large, single-storey, enclosed porch, likely from the 19th century, is located on the right and features a parapet, cornice, moulded architrave with consoles, a 20th-century double-panelled door, and semicircular arched plate glass windows to the returns. The rear elevation incorporates various 18th and 19th-century windows, including a trellised balconette in the centre of the first floor.

The interior has not been inspected. Area railings attached to the left corner form a serpentine line and connect to the porch. A forecourt to the north and west side is enclosed by ashlar walls with simple gatepiers. Grosvenor Place was part of a larger scheme intended to overlook a grand pleasure park to the rear. The first stone of Grosvenor House was laid on June 24, 1791 by architect John Eveleigh.
