Description

1 and 3 Warminster Road are paired attached houses dating from the 16th century, which were refronted and remodeled in the late 18th century. They are constructed from Doulting rubble with flush dressed quoins and feature double-Roman tile half-hipped mansard roofs supported by two brick stacks. The L-shaped facade has two storeys and consists of two bays for number 1 and three bays for number 3.

Number 3, located on the right, has paired casement windows in plain stone surrounds with a central stone dividing mullion, except for a Venetian window in the center of the first floor. The sash windows have glazing bars and are highlighted by an emphasized keystone. The central door opening is framed by a bead-moulded stone surround, featuring a six-panelled door with the top two panels glazed and a decorative transom light above. There is a 20th-century half-glazed porch with a double-Roman tile roof and a panelled door.

Number 1 follows a similar style, with sash windows that have glazing bars in bead-moulded stone surrounds, including a Venetian window on the left side of the first floor. Its door opening is in a plain stone surround with a keystone and has a flat stone hood supported by moulded stone brackets, leading to an altered half-glazed and panelled late 18th-century door.

The left return of number 1 is radiused and features one bay with paired sash windows in bead-moulded stone surrounds, a stone dividing mullion on the first floor, and a two-light bead-moulded stone mullioned window in the attic. The ground floor has a late 19th-century shop front with broad six-pane windows flanking double plank doors, topped by a narrow fascia board.

Inside number 1, there is a deeply chamfered and stopped ceiling bead in the left ground floor room, along with a late 18th-century alcove cupboard. The room on the right contains a broad open fireplace with a wooden lintel. Number 1 was once a tollhouse for the Frome Turnpike Trust.
