Description

22 and 24 Wells Road are a pair of houses built around 1820, with some alterations made in the 20th century. They are constructed from limestone ashlar, with slate and double Roman tile roofs. The buildings are two storeys high, with two lower ground floors due to the drop in the site from the street front. Each house has two windows, all of which are sash windows.

No. 22 features a twelve-pane window above another twelve-pane window, a five-panel door, and a three-pane 19th-century shopfront with transom lights, a fascia, and a cornice. No. 24 has two 20th-century dormers in a pantile mansard roof, a twelve-pane window, and an off-centre six-panel door beneath a thin flat hood supported by consoles. Both houses have a small plinth that slopes down to the pavement on the left, a moulded cornice, a blocking course, and a parapet, with a deep ashlar stack on the right. The rear of the buildings is not accessible.

The interiors have not been inspected. These houses are part of a mixed row from numbers 12 to 34, but they are similar to the adjacent houses at numbers 16 to 20, except for their parapet fronts. The road leading to Wells and Exeter was referred to as 'The New Road' on Chantry's 1793 plan of Bath.
