GV II

Detached house. c1840 with late C19 additions and C20 alterations.
MATERIALS: Painted limestone ashlar, shallow pitched hipped roof with shaped brackets to wide eaves and moulded stacks to returns.
PLAN: Double depth plan with single storey right wing.
EXTERIOR: Two storeys, symmetrical three-window range. Large C20 central dormer, eaves band, moulded architraves to plate glass sash windows, those to ground floor have cornices on consoles. First floor sills are lower than moulded string course that dips below each window, balconette with diagonal trellising spans three windows. Central enclosed porch has blocking course over cornice with fine guttae string to frieze and four-panel door with overlight. Right wing has moulded coping to parapet, cornice and two windows similar to those of main block.
INTERIOR: Not inspected.
HISTORY: The road lies along the route of the old footpath connecting Bath and Bathwick. Originally this area was earmarked for a major development called Frances Square (marked on Chantry¿s plan of 1793, and on Donne¿s plan of 1810). After a substantial delay this suburban development, greatly reduced in density, was proceeded with in a characteristic Late Georgian manner. The villas are shown on Cotterell¿s 1851 plan of Bath, and are recorded as being "newly erected" in the Bath Guide for 1853. A print of 1844 (reproduced in Pound) shows a row of three similar villas which are probably Nos 3-6.
SOURCES: (Pound C: Genius of Bath-The City and its Landscape: Bath: 1986-: 68).
