Description
This is a terrace of seven houses located on the south side of Brunswick Square in Bristol, built between 1766 and 1769 by Thomas Paty. The houses are constructed of brick with limestone dressings, featuring brick stacks and a pantile mansard roof.
The design follows a double-depth plan and consists of three storeys, a basement, and an attic, with a total of 21 windows. The style is mid-Georgian, characterized by rusticated pilasters that divide the facade into sections of five, three, five, three, and five, with a central projecting block topped by a pediment. The central entrance features a doorcase with a Gibbs surround and a tall keyed entablature, while other doorways have plain surrounds. The windows are fitted with cambered arches and five stepped voussoirs, with 6/6-pane sashes and attic dormers. The end houses have side entrances with bracketed pediments and rectangular overlights beneath semicircular-arched windows, also with Gibbs surrounds.
The interior was restored around 1980, but most of the original period details have been lost. The front areas are defined by piers and ramped walls.
