BEAUFORD SQUARE (West side) Nos. 8 and 9 with railings (Formerly Listed as: BEAUFORD SQUARE Nos. 7-9 (Consec)) 11/08/72

GV II

Pair of houses at end of short terrace. c1730, original design by John Strahan and remodelled c1760. MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, double Roman tile roof. PLAN: A corner block with high mansard with a hipped return; the entrance to No. 8 is to the east, and to No. 9 to the north. EXTERIOR: Three storeys, attic and basement, each one bay, all twelve pane sashes in plain reveals; a large paired casement dormer to each above paired lights at each level, but No. 9 has separate sashes in sunk drafted surrounds at the ground floor; the basement has paired sash, but with a door to No. 9. Central six panel door with three pane transom light, under segmental pediment on fluted pilasters with consoles. Above the door is a blind light. Small cornice with blocking course and parapet; coped parapet with deep stack to the left, and further stack at central party division. The return to the right has two small dormers above a pair of small twelve pane sashes to the right at second and first floors, with a further blind pair to the left at first floor. The ground floor has one sash to the right, and a central six panel door with three pane transom light under a slab hood on shaped brackets; the head of a small basement light breaks into the plinth, right. This front has two platbands, not returned to the main front, and the cornice with parapet. INTERIORS: Not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Basement areas are enclosed by simple railings on a stone curb, returned at the doorways. HISTORY: This development constitutes 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. This would have been an important corner house in the original layout; externally the only Strahan feature is the doorway, either retained or resited here. SOURCES: W. Ison, The Georgian Buildings of Bath (1948-), 133.
