Description
No. 3 Lansdown Road is a mid-18th century house, later converted into flats, with alterations including a 19th-century addition of a second floor, plate glass windows, and a large 20th-century rear extension. The front of the house is constructed of limestone ashlar, now painted up to the cornice above the first floor. The rear is of ashlar and rubble construction. It has a double pile roof, parapeted at the front and a mansard to the rear (the rear roof covering is not visible from the front). The original roof features double Roman tiles, an ashlar left-end stack on the front roof slope, and an ashlar stack to the rear, formerly rising from the rear wall but now from the flat roof of the rear extension. There is a staircase to the rear.
The house has three storeys and a basement, with a three-window front. The first floor has three plate glass sash windows set within splayed, cyma moulded architraves and stone sills. The second floor has two plate glass, horned sash windows with splayed reveals and stone sills to the left and right, and a similar blind window to the centre. The ground floor has two plate glass sash windows in splayed reveals with stone sills to the left, and a likely 20th-century six-panel door with unmoulded panels (the upper two glazed) within a cyma moulded architrave, topped with a frieze and pediment. The basement has two plate glass sash windows, one of which is horned, in splayed reveals, and a six-panel door, now half-glazed, positioned under the crossover. A long flight of concrete-faced steps leads to a further set of steps to the crossover, accompanied by attached wrought iron railings of baluster form, with shaped heads. The basement area has been dug out and altered in the 20th century. External features include a band course above the ground floor, a bracketed former eaves cornice above the first floor, a moulded eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation is almost entirely hidden by the 20th-century extension, which has modern windows. The interior of the property has not been inspected.
Attached to the property are ashlar garden walls of a parallelogram plan, and gate piers with moulded caps.
