Hopeholm Number 31 And Attached Railings

No.31 and the attached railings represent two houses, now converted into flats and offices, dating from approximately 1810 to 1830. The construction is of ashlar facing brick, with a concealed roof. The building features iron railings and wrought-iron balconies adorned with lead enrichments.

The Bath Street facade is four storeys high, with a basement, and incorporates four first-floor windows. The ground floor is rusticated with voussoirs above the openings, and horizontal bands define each floor, culminating in a frieze and cornice. A centrally positioned entrance on the right side has renewed steps leading to a mid-20th century double door, complete with a fanlight featuring decorative glazing. The window openings are largely blind, except for two 6/6 sash windows above the entrance and three 3/3 sash windows. The basement has a modern door. The Wellington Street facade mirrors the previous with continued rustication and banding. It has a central entrance with a five-fielded panel door and fanlight with decorative glazing bars. Primarily 6/6 sash windows are present, with taller windows on the first floor; the third floor has 3/3 sashes. Basement windows are 3/6 sashes, and one entrance is blocked. A blind service range runs along the Bath Street side.

The interior has not been inspected. Subsidiary features include spearhead area railings and a gate that extend along the sides of the steps, with stanchions featuring urn finials. Continuous balconies lining the Wellington Street facade display an intersecting circle-and-rod motif. A single window box is present on the first floor of the Bath Street facade, with bars. The style of the ironwork suggests the building might predate 1820, potentially linking it to the work of Chatwin.
