No 10 And Attached Railings

No. 10 is a house that has been converted into a surgery, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It is constructed of Flemish-bond brick and features stone coping on the parapet, a cornice, and a cill band on all first-floor windows. The building has painted stepped stone voussoirs and a doorcase, along with a 20th-century raised mansard roof covered with zig-zag tiles and 20th-century dormers. It has a double-depth plan, stands three storeys high with an attic and basement, and presents a three-window range on the west front facing King Square, while the south facade has a symmetrical five-window range.

The second floor has some crown glass in 6/6-pane sash windows, the first floor features 6/9-pane sashes and a rectangular cast-iron balcony along the front, and the ground floor has 6/6-pane sashes with flat gauged brick arches over the basement windows and door. The street slopes down to Castle Street on the right return (south facade), where semicircular steps lead up to double 3-panel doors with bolection moulding on the upper panels, set beneath a semicircular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The doorcase includes a reeded archivolt, a keystone, pilasters, and imposts resting on blocks with roundels. Most windows on this facade are blind, except for the one above the door, which matches the front windows.

The rear of the building features a bay with curved corners and similar windows, except for an early 19th-century 8/8-pane sash on the ground floor. There are blind windows on the curves and a wedge lintel above a blind door on the ground floor. The interior has not been inspected. The property is complemented by pointed railings with urn finials that enclose the basement area. This house is part of a distinguished late Georgian square built on the site of Bridgwater Castle.
