Description
This house, located on St Michael’s Hill in Cotham, Bristol, dates from around 1860. It is constructed of brick with limestone dressings, featuring lateral stacks and a slate roof. The building follows a double-depth plan and is designed in the Gothic Revival style.
The two-storey and attic house has a three-window front. The symmetrical facade features quoins and window dressings, with a full-width first-floor balcony supported by wooden brackets, projecting from overhanging eaves. The doorway is flanked by flat panels incorporating Gothic mouldings and thin stained glass, which curve upwards to form brackets for the balcony. The doorway has a plate glass overlight and a plain plank door with strap hinges. Paired French windows are positioned on either side of the doorway, with a stone mullion separating them. Similar windows are located above, the central one incorporating a trefoil head and mouchettes. The balcony has a timber Lombard frieze and wooden railings and posts extending to the eaves, which are decorated with pierced quatrefoils. The gables feature matching bargeboards. The roof slopes in a catslide fashion to the rear.
The interior of the house has not been inspected, but reports indicate it retains period stairs, doors, and fixtures.
