Description
Nos. 1 and 2 Colston Parade are a pair of attached houses built around 1760, located in Bristol. They feature a stucco front on a rubble base, roughcast on the side elevation, limestone dressings, and a pantile mansard roof. The houses are designed in a mid-Georgian style with a double-depth plan, each having three storeys, an attic, and a basement, arranged in a symmetrical three-window range.
The façade includes cornices and a parapet, with doorcases at the outer ends that have Gibbs surrounds, pronounced keys, and pediments supported by consoles, leading to recessed six-panel doors. The ground-floor windows are adorned with banded rustication forming keys above them, while the upper windows have cambered heads with six-over-six pane sashes, featuring fine glazing bars, which are thicker on the lower two storeys of No. 2. Hipped dormers are present, and sunken boot scrapers can be found at the entrances. In front of No. 1, a grille in the pavement provides light to a four-light basement window.
Inside No. 2, there is a stained-glass door leading to an entrance hall divided by a semicircular arch. The right-hand open dogleg stair features thick column-on-vase balusters, a curtail, and a ramped moulded rail. The ground floor has modillion cornices, panelled shutters, and six-panel doors.
