23 Cathedral Road

This is a group of two semi-detached houses, built with paired entrances. Constructed from thinly coursed rough faced pennant sandstone, the houses feature Bath stone ashlar dressings and have Welsh slate roofs topped with red brick ridge chimneys and ridge tiles. They rise three storeys and each house is two bays wide, consisting of a large bay and a small bay. The ground and first floors are adorned with polygonal five-light bay windows that have shields on the aprons and a leaded roof above without a parapet. Above these, there is a triple sash window with stone mullions in the gable, which is decorated with a shell motif.

The paired doorways are framed by moulded arches in an ashlar surround, and each door is a fine part-glazed design with etched glass in both the door and fanlight. The porches are paired and supported by polished limestone columns that have foliated capitals and shaped heads, with a carved panel featuring heads above. There is also a cast iron railing leading to the balcony. Each house has a window above the porch on each floor, and the paired top floor window rises into a shared half-dormer with a slate roof. All windows are plate glass sashes. The rear elevation has not been seen. The interior details were not available at the time of resurvey.
