Number 28 And Attached Front Area Cast Iron Railings

A pair of houses, built in the mid- to late 19th century and now combined into flats, stand on the south side of Sion Hill, Clifton. The houses are rendered with stone dressings and have a slate mansard roof. They are arranged on a double-depth plan, with three storeys and an attic, and have a two-window front. Decorative cornices divide the ground and second floors, and another sits above the first-floor windows. The right-hand entrance features paired doorways with attached colonnettes leading to a shouldered lintel with a central cast-iron enriched column. The doorways have rectangular overlights and half-glazed doors. A full-height, left-hand canted bay window has moulded corners, shouldered heads, and moulded sills. The right-hand windows are set within flat architraves with moulded reveals and shouldered heads, with the second-floor windows being narrower and containing 2/2-pane horned sashes. Dormers in the bay window have weathered jambs and pediments on kneelers, along with a segmental pediment framing the round-arched right-hand window. The interior of the building was not inspected. Attached cast-iron front area railings are a subsidiary feature. The building terminates a group of listed buildings along Sion Hill and is included for its group value.
