No. 15 And Attached Railings

No. 15 is a house, now converted into flats, built between 1773 and 1775. It was altered in the 19th and 20th centuries and is probably the work of John Wood the Younger. Constructed as an end-of-terrace house, it is double-pile with a staircase to the rear.

The front of the building is faced with limestone ashlar, while the rear is a combination of ashlar and rubble. The roof is a mansard, hipped to the right, and covered with large Welsh slates to the front and Welsh slates to the rear. It has coped party and gable walls to the left and right, with two ashlar stacks to the left. The front facade has three bays and is three stories high, with an attic, basement, and sub-basement. The first floor has three plate glass windows with splayed, cyma moulded architraves, friezes, cornices, and lowered stone sills on cut down console brackets. The second floor has three six/six sash windows with similar architraves and stone sills. The ground floor has two plate glass sashes to the left with stone sills and a continuous flat-arch lintel over both. To the right is a six-panel door with reeded and fielded panels, a single glazed panel, and a 19th-century cast iron wreath knocker, set within a stone doorcase with splayed reveals and a projecting moulded cornice. The door is accessed by four steps to a pennant paved crossover with a 19th-century cast iron footscraper. The basement has two six/six sashes to the left and an altered opening to the sub-basement to the right. No area steps are present. The rear elevation has a 19th-century ashlar extension and a 20th-century dormer.

The interior remains uninspected. Attached to the front are wrought iron railings with shaped heads on limestone bases, with an urn finial to the right. The building is part of the northward expansion of Bath, associated with the construction of the Assembly Rooms. It shares a lead downpipe and an opening to the area with No. 14 Alfred Street.
