Description

Nos. 1-8 George Street is a terrace of eight houses built around 1812, with alterations in the 19th century. They are situated on Bathwick Hill, stepped downhill from No. 1. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar with double-pitched slate roofs; the later 19th century roofs include mansards with paired dormer windows to Nos. 5 and 6 and a triple dormer window to No. 7. They have moulded stacks to the party walls and a coped gable end to the right.

Each house has an off-square, double-depth plan, with a chamfered corner to the right of No. 8. They are two storeys with attics and basements, each featuring a two-window front and a door to the left. Features include returned coped parapets, cornices, and plinths. Each house has two painted semicircular arched recesses to the ground floor, with the recesses to the left being narrower and containing decorative overlights above the six-panel doors. Small, low windows are located to the left of the doors, covered by cast iron scroll grilles. Although originally fitted with six/six pane sash windows, many have been replaced with plate glass sashes; No. 1 has a plate glass sash window to the ground floor. The left return of each house has three blind windows to each floor, similar to those at the front. Nos. 2, 3, 8, and some of the other houses feature balconettes to the ground and first floors. The right return has blind windows similar to those at the front, with three small circular recesses to the sides and centre of the ground floor, the central one being glazed. The rear of the houses mostly have six/six pane sash windows. The interiors have not been inspected. These houses were part of the early development of Bathwick Hill and were possibly overseen by John Pinch the Elder. They are smaller in scale than other terraces on the street.
