Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 25 Jul 2002
Remarkably large town house in Bath stone, "stately but rather bleak" was Pevsner's verdict. There is very little decoration. The three-bay wings are C20th. Built 1722 for clothier Edward Middlecott. Grade I listed. The mid-Georgian gates and railings in front put on rather more of a display. Grade II* listed. Now flats, a one-bedroom flat currently for sale at £100K.
