Numbers 3-13 And Attached Front Area Railings And Gates

This is a terrace of eleven houses, originally numbered 3 to 13, located on Redcliffe Parade West in Bristol. The houses were built between 1768 and 1771 and are now Nos. 3-8 combined as a single office. They are constructed of stucco with limestone dressings, featuring brick party wall stacks and a mix of slate and pantile mansard and hipped roofs. The buildings are of a mid-Georgian style and have a double-depth plan.

Each house extends over three storeys, a basement, and an attic, and originally featured a three-window front. A moulded parapet coping, coped gables, and party walls are present. Doorways are primarily located on the left-hand side of Nos. 4-7, and on the right-hand side of the others, each with an architrave and consoles supporting cornices. Some doorways have well-preserved rectangular fanlights and six-panel doors. Steps lead down to basement doorways. The windows are primarily 8/8-pane sashes, though some are plate glass. Later 19th-century hipped dormers and 20th-century four-light casement dormers have been added. Nos. 3-8 are now combined as a single office, and the doorways of Nos. 5-7 have been converted into windows. The entrance to No. 3 in the left return is blocked. The entrance to No. 13, on the right return, features a 19th-century tented porch with a semicircular-arched doorway. To the left of the entrance is a full-height canted bay constructed of ashlar, with plat bands, a crenellated parapet, and six-pane sashes flanked by four-pane sashes.

The interior of the houses includes an entrance hall with wainscot, divided by a semicircular arch with a panelled soffit. A rear dogleg winder staircase features column-on-vase balusters, column newels, and a toadback rail, with a curved bay containing two niches. The upper flights have an uncut string. Original six-panel doors and panelled shutters survive.

The property is accompanied by wrought-iron front area railings and gates with urn finials. The terrace was originally planned as part of a matching pair, but the eastern half was abandoned and completed to a different design. The buildings were painted by Samuel Jackson in 1825.
