Details
ABBEY VIEW (West side) Abbey View House, with boundary wall and gate piers 05/08/75
GV II
Villa at end of terrace. c1864. MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar with slate roof. PLAN: Compact square plan with symmetrical front, and C20 single storey addition adjoining the road; flat-pitched roof to deep eaves. EXTERIOR: Three storeys on a high base, three windows, plain sashes, paired to the centre, and with arched lights to the first floor pair. The ground floor has a single light each side of a square porch with an arched opening to glazed doors on a short flight of steps, and with small arched lights in the returns, all of these with margin panes. The added pavilion, to the left, has a hipped slate roof, and wide triple glazed opening to the front, with pilasters. The return to the right has two sashes to each floor. Two ashlar stacks. INTERIOR: Not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Attached to the front of the pavilion, and running down the hill to connect with the parapet wall of the canal bridge (qv), is an ashlar boundary wall with saddle-back coping to a roll-top, with an iron gate under horizontal coping which sweeps down and continues with the slope of the hill at a height of approx 2.1m. Near the right hand end the wall is set back in shallow concave quadrants to a pair of square piers on bases and with deep moulded caps with double blockings. There is a plank door at the right hand end. HISTORY: The house faces north, towards the city centre, and forms a lower stop, to Abbey View Terrace (qv); the masonry suggests a later date than the Terrace (first appears in Bath Directory 1866-1867).
