PLAN: Deep rectangular plan with stairs to right of entrance, drawing room and conservatory looking over garden to south. EXTERIOR: Two storeys with attics and lower ground floor; symmetrical three window front. A low coped parapet sweeps gently up over an open balustraded panel under a blocking course with anthemion acroteria carved into the course, probably fronting a former dormer; the cornice and frieze encircle the building and step out over clasping pilasters to each projecting angle; first floor sill bands stop at the pilasters. Plate glass sash windows, blind over the door and in the returns of the rear wing. The projecting enclosed porch has a low coped parapet, cornice, clasping pilasters and semicircular arch over a plain fanlight and door flanked by cornice on consoles to the windows; to the right of the porch is a similar lower plain block. The rear elevation has a swept hipped canopy to a cast iron trellised verandah and a conservatory to the rear left angle. INTERIOR: Not inspected, but recorded by Bath Preservation Trust in 1987. This noted a cantilevered stone staircase with turned banisters; fine plasterwork and original marble chimneypieces; reeded door architraves and 6-panel doors HISTORY: A fine late Georgian villa forming part of the upward development of Bathwick Hill. The date is taken from the conveyance from the Earl of Pulteney¿s estate. John Pinch the Elder may have been involved in the design. SOURCES: `Beyond Mr Pulteney¿s Bridge¿ (Bath Preservation Trust exhib. Cat. 1987), 47, where the original elevation design is reproduced.
