25, TYNDALLS PARK ROAD (See details for further address information)

This is a pair of attached houses, numbered 25 Tyndalls Park Road, now converted into flats, built around 1860 by George Gay. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar with lateral and party wall stacks, and have a roof that is not visible. They are arranged over two main floors, a basement, and an attic, and feature a double-depth plan. The architectural style is Classical.

The front elevation is symmetrical, with projecting ends. The ground floor is banded and extends to an entablature with balustrades below the windows and to the verandah. There are paired pilasters to a dentil cornice, and a moulded parapet to the attic. Entrances are located in the ends of the buildings. The windows have elliptical arched heads, bracketed cornices, and plate-glass sashes. The wings feature three-light bow windows, while the central part of the elevation has three-light windows above and a single window between them. Smaller windows are found in the attic, each with a shouldered architrave. A cast-iron verandah extends across the front, featuring two elliptical arches and a balustrade to the first floor.

The right return elevation, belonging to No.4 Woodland Road, has a three-window range, with the right-hand section projecting. A distyle-in-antis porch with Doric columns leads to a half-glazed screen and door. There is a three-light bow window to the wing, and a single-storey porch to the rear, incorporating a segmental arch with a three-pane fanlight and a two-panel door.

The interior includes a dogleg staircase on the ground floor, leading to an open-well staircase with cast-iron balusters and a top light. The ground floor right-hand room has a decorated plaster ceiling, alongside modillion cornices, six-panel doors, and panelled shutters. The houses share a common plan and similar design to other properties built by Gay in the Cotham and Tyndall’s Park areas.
