Brandon House And Attached Wall And Doorway

Brandon House is a late 18th-century house located on Brandon Steep in Bristol. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and render, featuring lateral stacks and a hipped roof covered with pantiles. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the late Georgian style, standing four storeys tall with a seven-window range. The symmetrical front includes a first-floor sill band, cornice, and parapet, along with three-storey three-light bows on either side. The entrance features a doorway with Doric columns supporting a pediment, and a half-glazed door beneath a late 19th-century hipped timber porch. The windows include 6/6-pane sashes in the bows and above the doorway, while the fourth floor has Venetian windows with interlacing heads over the bows. On the left side, there is a canted first-floor oriel, and on the right, a 6/6-pane sash window in a flush frame. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to have a central hall with a rear dogleg stair and panelled front rooms. Attached to the house is a rubble retaining wall that extends approximately 40 meters to the northwest, featuring a doorway with a Gibbs surround, Pennant steps, and wrought-iron railings.
