Description

Nos. 1-4, Rochfort Place, are a group of four terrace houses dating to approximately 1830. They were likely designed by John Pinch junior, and form part of the late Georgian development of Bathwick Street, following the construction of the Cleveland Bridge in 1827, and continuing Baldwin's earlier development. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar with rubble to the rear, and have double-pitched slate roofs with moulded stacks to the party walls and gable ends.

The four storeys, including an attic, are topped by a coped parapet and attic cornice. No. 1, the rightmost house, is set slightly forward with a two-bay front. The windows are predominantly sash windows with a mix of glazing patterns: three/six-pane to the attic, six/six-pane to the second floor, nine/nine-pane to the first floor, and plate glass sashes to the ground floor. The ground floor features a platband supported by banded rustication. The name "ROCHEFORT PLACE" is carved in deeply chiselled Roman capitals on the platband. The right-hand door is a six-panel door with an oval overlight containing cobweb tracery; a plate glass sash window sits to the left. Nos. 2, 3, and 4 share a continuous front with similar detailing. Nos. 2 and 3 each have two-window fronts with paired doors and overlights; No. 2 has cast iron balconettes to the first floor, and No. 3 has a stack to the party wall. No. 4 has a three-window front with chamfered rustication, a similar door, and a plain overlight.

The interiors have not been inspected. Nos. 2 and 3 were converted into six and five flats respectively in 1987, while No. 4 was converted into five flats in 1983. Cast iron railings are set into stone kerbs along the front of the properties. The front elevations, in particular the large first-floor windows, are comparable to designs from the Pinch office on the Bathwick Estate.
