The Cedars

The Cedars is a late 18th-century, two-storey square house, with early 19th-century additions to the rear. Constructed of Bath stone, the house features a slight central projection and prominent angle piers. The angle piers are distinguished by narrow, fluted Ionic pilasters, an architrave, a curved frieze, and a delicately moulded, bracketed cornice, with the cornice alone extending across the front and over the central pediment. A plain stone parapet with coping tops the structure, and it is covered by a hipped slate roof. The front façade has three windows on the first floor, with the outer windows being four panes wide. The ground floor has two larger, four-pane windows, and a central six-panel door. The door has raised and shaped central panels, glazed upper panels, and an arched, radiating fanlight. The door is situated within a well-proportioned Ionic stone porch, featuring two fluted columns and wall pilasters, an entablature with a curved frieze, a bracketed cornice, a pediment, and a lead roof. The west front, which faces the garden, is plainer, with two first-floor windows, an early 19th-century bay with French casements to the right, and a single ground-floor window. The east elevation is similar with two windows. A pleasant garden surrounds the property, notable for its large cedar tree.
