52 And 54, Pembroke Road

A pair of attached houses located on Pembroke Road, Bristol, built around 1850. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar with a shared party wall and external chimney stacks. They have a double-depth plan and are designed in a Neoclassical style.

Each house is two storeys high with a basement and features a two-window facade. The symmetrical design is divided into four sections. The outer sections have banded detailing to the ground floor and pilasters rising to the first floor. A wide, central pilaster is also banded, and the facade includes sill bands, a plat band, a cornice, and a deep, coped parapet. Wide, single-storey porches feature pilasters supporting an entablature, with eight-panel doors recessed behind semicircular fanlights. The ground floor windows are tripartite, with wide jambs to a cornice, while the first-floor windows have wider side panels, some of which are blocked and feature a panel below, all set against an entablature and pediment; the right-hand window includes a wreath. The windows are mostly sash windows with glazing bars and margin panes, although some first-floor windows have been replaced with 20th-century casements. A wide first-floor slate balcony is located in the central section, with a bowed cast iron balustrade.

The interior originally included cornices, panelled shutters, and semicircular arches to the staircases, though the latter have since been removed.
