Description
Nos. 12 and 16 Lansdown Place are a pair of houses dating from the mid to late 18th century. They are built with a plastered exterior on a plastered plinth, and have a plain tiled roof. There is an end stack to the left of the building and two stacks behind the ridge. The roof is punctuated by three flat-headed dormers; the dormer to the left has a sliding sash window, while the central and right-hand dormers have 20th-century metal casements. The houses have two storeys and attics, and feature six front windows, with five glazing bar sash windows arranged regularly around the right-hand door. The entrance to Nos. 12 and 14 is on the right, with Doric columns in antis to a recessed door, which is half-glazed and has half-glazed wooden side panels. The entrance to No. 16 is on the left, and is a half-glazed door set within a recessed entrance with chamfered corners. The interior has not been inspected. The buildings are designated for their architectural interest as a good example of mid to late 18th century town houses.
