22, 23 AND 24, QUEEN SQUARE

This is a late 18th-century terrace of three houses, located on Queen Square, Bristol. Numbers 23 and 24 were rebuilt in 1970 to replicate the appearance of number 22. The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar and have a pantile mansard roof. They are arranged with a double-depth plan and are of a late Georgian style. Each house is three storeys high with an attic, and has a four-window facade. The ground floor is rusticated, with plat and first-floor sill bands, a cornice, and a parapet. The central doorway to number 22 features an architrave and bracketed cornice above a six-panel door, and incised voussoirs are visible on the ground floor. The first-floor windows have architraves and cornices, and contain plate-glass sashes. Modern dormers are concealed behind balustraded sections of the parapet. The interior of number 22 retains a good open-well staircase with a wide curtail, turned balusters, square newels, a ramped moulded rail, and ground-floor panelled wainscot.
