13, The Halve

This is an early 19th century building, originally fronted in Bath stone laid upon a projecting plinth. It features prominent angle pilasters and a string course at the second-floor level. The building has a plain frieze and a moulded cornice that projects above the angle pilasters, topped by a parapet with projecting coping. A slate roof has coped verges, a saddle stone on the right-hand gable, and two brick chimneys with moulded capping. The windows are sash windows, with the outer windows featuring four panes. The second-floor central window has a cambered upper sash, and the central first-floor window is arched with radiating glazing. The ground-floor windows are four panes wide but without glazing bars. All windows, except for the central window on the first floor, are set in slight recesses with a double scroll-cut detail to the head. The main entrance is through a six-panel door with an arched fanlight of carved and radiating pattern, sheltered by an Ionic porch with corner piers and two columns supporting an entablature and parapet. A small dwarf retaining wall runs across the front, with four moulded stone steps leading up to the entrance. A stable gate is located to the right, featuring a stone segmental archway with a moulded surround. The building forms a group with numbers 17 to 21.
