BEAUFORD SQUARE (West side) No. 7 with railings (Formerly Listed as: BEAUFORD SQUARE Nos. 7-9 (Consec)) 11/08/72
GV II
Terraced house. c1730, by John Strahan, and remodelled c1760. MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, pantile roof. EXTERIOR: Three storeys and basement, glazing bar sashes; two twelve pane at second floor above two eighteen pane and one blind at first floor and two eighteen pane to ground floor in architraves with cornice hood on a pulvinated frieze. The basement has two twelve pane with large keystones in a broad platband above rubble. To the right a six panel fielded door with plain transom light in moulded architrave, and with segmental pediment on fluted pilasters with consoles. Cornice, shallow blocking course and parapet, returned to coped gable, left, with deep stack. INTERIOR: Not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Basement area enclosed by railings on a stone curb returned at the doorway. This house forms part of a notable attempt to create an architecturally coherent square in a style different to that of John Wood, and forms an important episode in the growth of Bath, as well as possessing great group value with the Theatre Royal. The house retains some of the Strahan detail in the ground floor, but was modified and raised one storey later in the C18, thereby upsetting some of the architectural effect: a reflection on the limited controls stipulated in this early square development. SOURCES: W. Ison, The Georgian Buildings of Bath (1948-), 133.
