Charlton House

Charlton House comprises three terrace houses dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of limestone rubble, with rendered fronts and ends, and have pantile roofs. The houses are arranged as a pair with a parallel range of mansard roofs to an internal valley, with Charlton House itself set slightly apart to the left, differing slightly in detail and having a single depth.

The houses are three storeys and an attic in height. Each has a single window per floor, with sash windows, some having bars, set within broad, painted flat surrounds. Nos. 6 and 7 have blocked raking dormers above paired sashes. First-floor windows have twelve-pane sashes, while ground-floor windows are closed with concrete blocks. Four-panel doors are situated within slightly chamfered surrounds, sheltered by flat stone hoods with a moulded edge, supported on shaped brackets. A common architectural treatment includes an ashlar frieze, moulded cornice, blocking course, and parapet, which returns to coped gables, and a large central ridge stack. No. 8, Charlton House, features paired plain sashes, with concrete block closures at ground floor, and a door and doorcase similar to the others. It also has an ashlar plinth, ovolo eaves cornice, and a coped left gable with a deep stack. The return ends are plain, and the rear elevation, in rubble, has various sashes, including some with bars.

Interiors of Nos. 6-8 were inspected by Bath Council between 1886 and 1891. No. 6 contains cupboards with arched recesses flanking fireplaces on the second floor. Most fireplaces remain intact, as do the original staircases, featuring Doric newels. These are rare survivals as the surrounding road was largely redeveloped with commercial properties in the 20th century, though the buildings were found empty and in poor condition during a survey in February 1994.
