House, now a pair of attached houses. 1830. Limestone ashlar with a C20 tiled mansard. Double-depth plan. Neoclassical style. 2 storeys, basement and attic; 4-window range. The outer windows are flanked by giant pilasters, with moulded caps, to an entablature, cornice and balustraded parapet, which steps forward between the pilasters. Ground-floor windows have sill blocks and console canopies, first-floor windows in shallow recessed surounds, with plate-glass sashes. The entrance is in the rebuilt rear elevation. INTERIOR not inspected. The first house built after Cotham Road was opened in 1829. 'It is ... a prototype of the long ranges of pilastered Neoclassical pairs whose purity was eventually lost in undisciplined Italianate display.' (Gomme).
