Number 7 And Attached Garden Walls

Number 7 is a house located on Wetherell Place in Clifton, built in 1860 by the architect J.A. Hansom for himself. The building is constructed of brick featuring a black brick diaper pattern and limestone dressings, with brick stacks and a tiled roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles. It has a double-depth plan and is designed in the Gothic Revival style, comprising two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a five-window range.

The front of the house is nearly symmetrical, featuring a plinth, a first-floor drip course, moulded eaves, and a coped left-hand gable. The left side has a lower wing that extends to a rear gable, which includes a weathered band at the ground floor that rises over a left-of-centre doorway. This doorway has a four-centred arch with a label mould and diamond stops, and the door is fitted with strap hinges. To the left of the stack, there is a two-light, trefoil-headed window on the first floor, which has a quatrefoil panel inscribed with "JH/1860." The rear gable features a two-centred arched cross window with Decorated tracery.

The front facade includes two sets of three ground-floor cross windows with Tudor-arched heads, and a combination of two, one, and two first-floor windows, all fitted with metal casements. There are also two small dormers with pitched roofs and trefoil barge-boards. The right-hand gable and stack are rendered, and there is a verandah supported by cast-iron stanchions. The property features dated hoppers and has attached spear-headed railings that extend to the front area and garden along Frederick Place for approximately 30 meters. This house is noted as one of the few Victorian houses in Bristol that demonstrate a true understanding of Pugin's architectural principles.
