Description
West Town House, located in Brislington, is a pair of attached houses dating from the late 18th century and early 19th century. The buildings feature a combination of render, limestone ashlar, and a hipped slate roof, arranged in a double-depth plan. They stand two storeys tall with a five-window range. The front façade is symmetrical, showcasing an ashlar plinth and pilasters that lead to the cornice and parapet. A tall open porch supported by square Tuscan columns and topped with a flat canopy leads to a semicircular-arched doorway, which includes a fanlight and a 20th-century glazed door. The windows are plate-glass sashes, with the middle first-floor window set in a semicircular-arched recess.
No. 14 Fairway, which is part of this listing, is a late 17th-century house that underwent alterations in the 18th century, to which West Town House was added in the early 19th century. This section has two storeys and an attic, featuring an irregular pantile hipped roof and sashes with glazing bars. Inside, there are four-panel shutters and panelled soffits on the windows, reeded architraves with roundels, and an open-well staircase with a veneered wreathed rail. No. 14 also boasts a notable late 17th-century door and door surround.
