21, Horfield Road

21 Horfield Road is a house dated 1869, designed by Foster and Wood. It is constructed from uncoursed limestone ashlar with a rubble rear, featuring external end stacks and a pantile hipped roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the early Georgian Revival style. It stands two storeys tall and has a four-window range.

The symmetrical front of the house includes rusticated quoins, a ground-floor cornice, and moulded timber eaves. The doorway features a moulding at sill height, a plate-glass overlight, and half-glazed double doors. The windows are adorned with architraves, ground-floor pulvinated friezes, and pediments that are strung along the cornice, with segmental pediments at the ends, a semicircular one above the door, and a triangular one between. The windows are casement cross windows with horizontal glazing bars. Above the doorway, there is a moulded panel with a small pediment, which is dated 1869 and features two fish and an anchor.

The stacks at each end of the house have quoins and a pair of diagonally-set square stacks with cornices. Inside, the entrance hall leads to a central stair flight with turned balusters. This house was built as the warden's house for Colston's Almshouses, although it is designed in the style of Bengough's Almshouses, with the pediments and stacks imitating their style. It is an early example of Georgian Revival architecture, clearly intended to complement earlier buildings.
