Description
A terrace of four houses dating to around 1830, located on Marlborough Hill in Kingsdown, Bristol. The houses are rendered with limestone dressings and have party wall stacks, topped with pantile hipped roofs. They follow a double-depth plan and are built in a Late Georgian style.
Each house is two storeys high, with a basement, and has a two-window frontage. The design incorporates a stepped, coped parapet. The front walls rise to outer doorways, which feature wide, elliptical arches with elliptical fanlights, fluted transoms and jambs, flanked by blank side-lights. These doorways have six-panel doors. The ground floor features a cambered-headed window with eight-pane sashes, while there are two smaller eight-pane sashes on the first floor. A single sash window is located in the basement. Below the steps there is a six-panel door with two oval windows.
The interior was not inspected during listing. Short ramped walls and capped piers separate the doorways and the bottoms of the steps, forming a subsidiary feature. The doorways are considered unusual for Bristol.
