71 and 73, Lower Redland Road

A pair of attached houses located on Lower Redland Road, Bristol, dating from the mid-19th century. The houses are constructed of stucco with limestone dressings, featuring an ashlar party wall stack and a slate and concrete tiled hipped roof. They are built on a double-depth plan and exhibit Italianate style architecture.

Each house stands three storeys high with a basement, and each has a three-window front. The design is symmetrical, with two-storey blocks set back and linked to the central section via two-storey porches topped with tented, leaded roofs. The ground floor is banded and features a cornice, while tooled quoins emphasize the corners and porch. Pilaster strips run up the first storey of the porches, and a frieze sits below overhanging eaves supported by scrolled brackets.

The houses have semicircular-arched doorways, with a panelled door at No. 71 leading to an inner arched doorway, both with incised voussoirs and a key stone. Semicircular-arched windows have moulded surrounds; the inner windows are tripartite on the ground floor and have moulded jambs, supporting a deep balcony on stone brackets. Outer windows feature incised surrounds on the ground floor, and a single window above the doorway is accentuated by an impost band and a key stone. A central stack is topped with a cornice. The interior of the houses has not been inspected.
