The Four Tubs

The Four Tubs is a house located on Chamberlain Street in Wells, built in the early 19th century. It is part of a terrace of five houses and features a rendered exterior with stone dressing, all colourwashed, and a Welsh slate roof with ashlar chimney stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys tall with an attic and basement, comprising two bays.

The exterior includes sash windows set in plain architraves; the lower bay of the first window has no glazing bars, while the upper bay features a 12-pane window. The second upper bay has a 2-light casement window in the original sash opening. The entrance is marked by a six-panel door that is accessed via three stone steps, topped with a rectangular fanlight that has ornamental glazing. This is framed by a stone doorcase with Tuscan pilasters, decorative paterae, dosserets, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice with a central blocking-course. Small flat-roofed dormers with lead cheeks and 2-light small-pane casements are also present, along with a cast-iron ogee gutter.

The interior has not been inspected. The houses numbered 1 to 9 on this side of Chamberlain Street collectively represent a consistent early 19th-century terrace design.
