11, 12 AND 13, ARLINGTON VILLAS

Three attached houses at 11, 12, and 13 Arlington Villas were built in 1854 as part of a larger development in Clifton, Bristol. They are constructed of limestone ashlar to the front, with rendered sides, and have party wall stacks with a pantile and slate hipped roof. The houses follow a double-depth plan and are designed in an Italianate style.

The buildings are three storeys high, with a basement and attic, and each has a two-window frontage. The outer houses are slightly set forward, featuring clasping pilaster strips to a frieze decorated with square panels, a corniced detail, and an attic storey with a coped parapet and scrolled brackets on the party walls. The central houses have moulded architraves above the left-hand doorways, while the outer houses have full-height entrance blocks with doorways and overlights, all containing six-panel doors. The middle ground-floor and attic windows are plain; the rest are set within architraves, with console cornices above. They feature two-over-two sashed windows with margin bars, and some plate-glass sashes. Cast-iron bracketed balconies are present on the central houses.

The interior contains a central, lateral dogleg staircase with stick balusters and a curtail, along with decorative cornices and six-panel doors.
