Description
This is a late 18th-century house on St Michael’s Hill, Bristol. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with party wall stacks and a roof that is not visible. The house follows a double-depth plan and is built in a Late Georgian style.
The building is three storeys high plus a basement, with a three-window front. It features giant pilasters extending to a cornice and parapet, and a rusticated ground floor with a plat band. The right-hand doorway is semicircular-arched, with a raised surround, consoles, and medallions to the cornice, and dropped keys to the ground-floor windows. The windows are largely 6/6-pane sashes, with 3/6 panes on the second floor. A basement hatch is also present.
The interior includes an entrance hall with an elliptical arch. A dogleg winder stair returns over the door, incorporating stick balusters.
