Nos 5 To 15 And Front Gate Piers And Boundary Walls

These are a group of late 1840s townhouses, numbered 5 to 15 (odd), along with front gate piers and boundary walls. The buildings are constructed of ashlar stone, with a rusticated ground floor. They have slate roofs with a projecting eaves cornice. The buildings are three storeys high, with a basement. The ground floor windows have three lights, surrounded by moulded stone architraves. The first floor features sash windows with glazing bars, each topped with a bracketed pediment. A continuous cill band runs along the second floor. A bracketed cornice outlines the roofline. Numbers 5 and 15 are advanced end pavilions, each culminating in a pediment, with three-light windows on the ground and first floors. A continuous cast iron balcony runs at first floor level between the two end pavilions. These buildings, together with the Royal Crescent and numbers 32 and 34 Knightstone Road, are part of the early formal development of Weston-super-Mare.
