LEEDS

SE2934NE WOODHOUSE LANE, University Campus 714-1/72/1188 (North East side) 05/08/76 Blenheim Terrace, No.20 (Formerly Listed as: WOODHOUSE LANE (North East side) No.20 Blenheim Terrace (Barrington Court Hotel))

GV II

Pair of houses, now a bank. 1824-26 with C20 alterations. Rendered, slate roof. 3 storeys, each house has one wide and one narrow window. Entrance left (formerly No.20) altered to cashpoint window with fanlight over; entrance far right, possibly not original, has panelled door, fanlight over, in moulded architrave with keystone. Ground-floor windows: a C20 bay window left, restored sash with glazing bars right; restored sashes with glazing bars to 1st and 2nd floors. Stacks straddle ridge to right of each house. Other pairs of houses in Blenheim Terrace have entrances to the left; the variation in window width is unique but the stack positions suggest that this was the original arrangement here. INTERIOR: not inspected. In use as the Barrington Court Hotel in 1976, the conversion to a bank involved closing the original entrance to No.20 while retaining it as the building number. For history, see No.2 Blenheim Terrace, Woodhouse Lane (qv). (Beresford M: Walks Round Red Brick: Leeds University Press: 1980-: 14).
