Number 1 and Attached Front Basement Railings

Number 1 is an attached house located in Dowry Square, Hotwells, Bristol, built around 1730. It features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, party wall stacks, and a hipped roof covered in pantiles. The house is designed in an early Georgian style and has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-window range. The façade includes rusticated pilaster strips leading to a moulded coping. The right-hand doorway has three-panelled jambs, a reeded transom, brackets supporting a dentil pediment, a batswing fanlight, and a six-panel door. The windows feature lintels with rusticated voussoirs, including nine 9/9-pane sashes in flush frames, and two symmetrically placed ground-floor sashes. There is also a single hipped dormer. The right return of the building has an 18th-century shop window with an 18-pane window and cornice, two 9/9-pane sashes on the first floor, and a single 6/6-pane sash. The interior has not been inspected. The property includes attached cast-iron front area railings and a gate with urn finials, along with Pennant piers. Dowry Square was laid out by George Tully in 1720, with construction continuing until 1750. The square originally featured a five-window middle house and outer three-window houses, primarily built of brick, which have since been altered and mostly rendered in various designs.
