Description

Nos. 1-6 Camden Terrace are a group of six symmetrical terrace houses, built between 1823 and 1824. They are situated high above Camden Road and No. 1 is attached to No. 24 Upper Camden Terrace. The buildings were likely designed by John Pinch the Elder and have undergone alterations in the late 19th century and the 20th century.

The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar with double-pitched roofs covered in slate to the front and double Roman tiles to the rear, featuring moulded stacks to the party walls. They are three storeys high with a basement, and each has a single window range except for No. 6, which has an added wing to the right. The facade has a continuous low coped parapet, a cornice, a lintel frieze, a second-floor sill band, and a ground-floor platband. Incised voussoirs are visible on the first-floor level. Nos. 3 and 4 are slightly forward and have banded rustication to the ground floor, topped by a pediment displaying the Camden arms within the tympanum.

Originally, the houses had six-over-six-pane sash windows, with some retaining oval panels at the tops of the seven-panel doors, which were set within simple porches with reeded edges. No. 1 has plain six-over-six-pane sash windows. No. 2 retains its original windows and roundels to the centre of a similar door. No. 3 has eight-over-eight-pane sash windows and a door similar to No. 2. No. 4 features horizontal glazing bars in two-over-two-pane sash windows, splayed reveals and balconettes to the first floor. No. 5 has horned six-over-six-pane sash windows. The facade's mouldings continue along the set-back single window wing of No. 6.

In the angle of No. 6 is a late 19th-century hip-roofed two-storey porch with pendant brackets to the eaves and a brattished lintel above a twelve-pane sash window. A likely 20th-century window is located above a six-panel door with early 19th-century moulded panels, an iron wreath knocker, curved glazing bars in the margin lights, reeded jambs, a lintel with roundels to the upper corners, and a wide cobweb fanlight. Brattished lintels have been added to the right wing windows, with the ground-floor window having splayed reveals.

Interior inspections have been carried out on Nos. 1 and 3 by the Bath Preservation Trust. No. 1 retains some original alcove cupboards and a flagstone floor in the hall. No. 3, described as having "a rather splendid pediment," also has recorded interior features. A City of Bath survey from 1982 noted that No. 6 likely has very elaborate plasterwork and may have originally been built by a plasterer.
