EXTERIOR: Two storeys, with basements but mostly hidden from front, two bays. Ground floor has originally four panel door with small rectangular light over and six/six sash, above two six/six sashes sitting on sill band, but many doors have been changed and many windows are plate glass plain sashes. Cornice, parapet, roof largely hidden, ashlar stack, mostly with pots to right of each house. No 5 has had its door and windows replaced with aluminium ones.

HISTORY: Shown on Cotterell¿s map of 1852, and dating from around 1830. It is listed as a good and largely intact example of a Late Georgian artisans¿ terrace. Other examples in Bath (ie Brougham Hayes) have suffered badly from incessant alteration and this is now a fairly rare survivor.
