Bath House
II
Former bath house, now house. 1803, with mid C19 extension and
C20 alterations. Designed by Joseph Gandy. Sandstone ashlar on
the front, and roughly coursed rubble with plain quoins
elsewhere. Hipped roof with concrete tiles. 8-flue chimney
stack parallel to the original front, and 4-flue stack on
ridge of the extension.
The original front (now the back elevation) has 2 storeys and
3 bays with a simple hollow moulded cornice and blocking
course, the windows have plain reveals and late C20 casements,
and the door is hidden behind what is probably a 2-bay mid C19
addition. Towards the street the facade of the extension has 2
storeys and 2 bays with an ogee-profiled cornice, its windows
have plain reveals and late C20 casements with glazing bars. 2
chimneys, at each end of the ridge at right angles to each
other. A bell is attached to the chimney nearest the road.
INTERIOR: original bath reputed to exist beneath floor.
HISTORY: built by 50 subscribers who paid 10 shillings each.
The design for the bath house was exhibited by Gandy at the
Royal Academy in 1806.
