Description
Hambledon House is a pair of attached houses, built around 1830 in Bristol. Constructed of limestone ashlar, the building features a 20th-century tiled mansard roof. It follows a double-depth plan and is designed in a Neoclassical style. The house has two storeys, a basement, and an attic, with a four-window front. The outer windows are flanked by giant pilasters, topped with moulded caps, and extend to an entablature, cornice, and balustraded parapet, which projects forward between the pilasters. Ground-floor windows have sill blocks and decorative console canopies, while first-floor windows are set in shallow recessed surrounds with plate-glass sashes. The rear elevation has been rebuilt. The interior has not been inspected. Hambledon House represents an early example, built shortly after the opening of Cotham Road in 1829, and is described as a prototype of the subsequent rows of pilastered Neoclassical houses whose design later became less restrained with the introduction of Italianate features.
