House. Dated 1869. By Foster and Wood. Uncoursed limestone ashlar, rubble rear, external end stacks and a pantile hipped roof. Double-depth plan. Early Georgian Revival style. 2 storeys; 4-window range. A symmetrical front has rusticated quoins, a ground-floor cornice and moulded timber eaves; the doorway has a moulding at sill height, plate-glass overlight and half-glazed double doors. Windows have architraves, ground-floor pulvinated friezes and pediments strung along the cornice, segmental to the ends, semicircular over the door, and triangular between; casement cross windows with horizontal glazing bars. Over the doorway is a moulded panel with a small pediment, dated 1869 beneath 2 fish and an anchor. Stacks on each end have quoins and a pair of diagonally-set square stacks with cornices. INTERIOR: entrance hall to a central stair flight with turned balusters. Built as the warden's house to Colston's Almshouses (qv), though in the manner of Bengough's Almshouses (qv), and with the pediments and stacks in imitation of their style. An early example of Georgian Revival, cleary designed to compliment earlier buildings. (Gomme A: Street Index of Buildings of Architectural or Historic Interest: 31).
