No. 10

GV II*

Detached villa. c1810 with C20 alterations. Probably by John Pinch.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, double-pitched slate roof with moulded stacks to gable ends.
EXTERIOR: Two storeys and basement; two window front to street, three window front to garden. Coped parapet and cornice, eight/eight pane sash windows with some crown glass, C20 door to the left. The symmetrical 3-window garden front is the principal facade. A returned coped parapet and entablature is supported by a giant order of Ionic pilasters, paired to the outer ranges, and quarter pilasters flank the central range which is stepped slightly forward. Large 8/8-pane sash windows with moulded sills and a moulded ground floor string course between the pilasters. The first floor central window has a cornice and frieze with a lozenge to the centre, on moulded pilasters. Below is semi-elliptical plan portico of two pairs of fluted Ionic columns supporting an entablature and blocking course, the key pattern frieze has lozenges over the columns; French windows have a cobweb fanlight.
INTERIOR: Not inspected, but recorded by Bath Preservation Trust in 1990. This notes the presence of a cantilevered stone staircase, off the hall with a wide depressed arch between; extensive survival of reeded door architraves and six panel doors, good decorative plasterwork, original chimneypieces (that to Morning Room with Ionic columns and lion masks, and a central relief of an urn to centre). Basement divided into six rooms, retains numerous original features.
HISTORY: Among the finest late Georgian suburban villas in Bath, this house possesses a very fine masonry front to the garden elevation, which indicates how these villas were initially intended to be seen principally from the south. The street front is comparatively ordinary.
