Description

This is a pair of terraced houses, now divided into three separate dwellings, named Little Keynshambury, Keynshambury House, and Keynsham Priors, with attached railings, dating to circa 1820-30. Later additions and alterations include a service range at the left. The construction is stucco over brick, featuring concealed roof space, end stucco stacks, an iron balcony, and railings.

The exterior is four storeys with a basement, displaying five first-floor windows arranged as a 2:3 layout. An entrance bay of one-and-a-half storeys projects to the left, while a single-storey, two-bay range extends to the right, with a full-height service range attached to the rear of the main range. The end bays of the main range project forward. Stucco detailing includes rustication drawn into voussoirs over the entrances at ground floor level, second- and third-floor bands, and tooled architraves to the first- and second-floor windows. The first-floor windows have cornices supported by consoles, while the second-floor windows feature acanthus leaf decoration. Original six-over-six sash windows are present in plain reveals and with sills, with two-over-two sashes to the first floor.

The main entrance to No.45 has six-fielded-panel double doors set between engaged fluted Doric half-columns and a wide cambered-arched fanlight with decorative radial glazing. The original entrance to No.47 has been infilled and now contains a sash window; otherwise, it has a 20th-century replacement door in an extension. The range to the right (No.43) includes an entrance with a panelled door and overlight, alongside a one-over-one sash window, both featuring tooled architraves and cornices on console brackets. A crowning cornice and low parapet complete the facade. The right return of the main range displays four first-floor windows, mostly blind openings.

The interior was not inspected. Subsidiary features include stick balusters and an embellished balustrade to the sides of the steps leading to No.45. A two-metre length of flattened spearhead railings runs between the houses. The first-floor continuous balcony has embellished rods and a lattice frieze. A similar first-floor balcony is present at the rear of No.47.

Historically, the property was shown on Merrett's Map of 1834 as Keynsham Place. It forms a group with the Boundary Pier to No.43 and Gatepiers to No.47.
