76-82, Cotham Road

This is a terrace of four houses located on Cotham Road, Bristol, built around 1860. The buildings are constructed from limestone ashlar with ashlar chimney stacks. They have a double-depth plan and are designed in the Italianate style.

The terrace consists of two storeys, a basement, and an attic, presenting a six-window frontage. The group is symmetrical, with projecting wings, a central porch, and lower return end entrance blocks. A frieze, cornice, and moulded cornice define the attic level.

The central porch features steps leading up to two semicircular arches with impost mouldings and keystones, containing 20th-century doors with rectangular overlights. The end blocks have similar steps up to semicircular-arched doorways. The central houses have ground-floor windows with segmental arches, fitted with 5/6-pane sashes. The first floor incorporates two 6/6-pane hornless sashes with architraves.

The wings feature rusticated ground floors up to a plat band, with tripartite ground-floor windows having consoles to panelled heads and cornices alongside 2/2-pane sashes. The first floor has 6/6-pane sashes with shouldered architraves, and the attic level features 3/3-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
