Description
21 Cathedral Road is a group of four terraced houses built in a quiet Gothic style. Constructed from thinly coursed rough faced pennant sandstone, they feature Bath stone ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roofs, complemented by red brick ridge chimneys and ridge tiles. Each house stands three storeys tall and is two bays wide, with a large and a small bay. The ground and first floors showcase polygonal 5-light bay windows adorned with shields on the aprons and an arcaded parapet above. Above these, there is a triple sash window with stone mullions in the gable. Each house has paired doorways set in 3-centred arches with ashlar surrounds, and a window above each doorway on every floor, with the top floor window rising into a shared half-dormer featuring a slate roof. All windows are plate glass sashes. The rear elevation has not been seen, and the interior details were not available at the time of resurvey.
