Description
No. 14 is a house that has been converted into offices, built between 1770 and 1800. It features Flemish-bond brickwork with stone coping on the parapet, a cornice, painted stepped voussoirs, and a steep-pitched mansard roof covered with slate, dating from the 20th century. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall, with an attic and basement. The west facade, which faces King Square, has a three-window range, while the north facade has five windows.
On the west facade, there are 6/6-pane sash windows on all floors. The left return has flat gauged brick arches over blind windows that flank 6/6-pane sash windows, with stepped voussoirs above the door. This may be a later addition. The entrance features a wide semicircular gauged brick arch made of lighter-coloured brick, with a large fanlight that has triangular panes along the outer edge and radiating glazing bars in the centre. There are narrow fixed lights on either side of the door, which has recessed panels on the jambs and double doors, each with three raised panels. To the left is an 8/8-pane sash window, and to the far right is a 20th-century door that has been inserted into the space of a bricked-up window.
At the rear, there is a late 19th-century extension built of English-bond brick, featuring a flat gauged brick arch above a 20th-century planked door located to the right of centre. The basement area is fronted by pointed railings with urn finials. This house is part of a distinguished late Georgian square that was constructed on the site of Bridgwater Castle.
