Description

No. 36 Somerset Street is an early 19th-century building in Bristol that consists of two attached houses, which were formerly shops but are now combined into one house. The structure is built of stucco with brick end stacks, and the roof is not visible. It features a double-depth plan and is designed in a late Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a basement and a five-window range.

The façade includes rusticated pilasters leading to a cornice and parapet. On the right side, there is a three-light, two-storey oriel window with a small fanned base supported by a pair of cast-iron stanchions on stone plinths, featuring 6/6-pane windows. To the left of centre, the doorway is adorned with fluted consoles and a moulded cornice, and it contains a six-panel door with a rectangular overlight. To the right, there is a 20th-century 16-pane window that replaced a former shop front, beneath 20th-century 6/6-pane horned sashes. At the rear, there is a full-height three-light bow window. The building is shown on Ashmead's 1828 Map of Bristol. The interior has not been inspected.
