23 Bath Street is one of the earliest stand alone Georgian villas remaining in Portobello and because of later interventions into the street from the later 19th to the later 20th centuries, it is one of the last remaining of its type. Although somewhat altered, the building plan and profile is mainly intact and a number of good classical details remain. This villa is part of a Georgian grid street plan. Portobello became a sought after residential location in the 19th century with the first phase of large scale development and street planning taking place between 1800-1825. Bath Street was laid out between 1801 and 1802 and thus is included in the earliest phase of this villa expansion. 1st edition map indicates a former boundary wall set close to rear of house separating house from garden.
