Sion Hill Place in the Lansdown area of Bath, Somerset, England was designed by John Pinch the elder [1] and built between 1818 and 1820. Suspension bridge builder and brewer James Dredge, Sr. lived here in the mid-19th century.
Summerhill and numbers 1 to 9 have been designated as a Grade I listed building. [2]
The Georgian terrace of numbers 1 to 9 is made up of 4 storey houses which is symmetrical from which the centre house, number 5, stands forward and has a pediment. The ground floor of all houses is rusticated. The houses at either end have curved segmental bows for their entire height. [2] Numbers 1 to 4 were built by William Cowell Hayes a local painter, while Daniel Aust, from Walcot, built number 5 and possibly the others. [3]
Summerhill House, which is attached to the west end of the terrace, came from Chippenham and was demolished and transported stone by stone. [2]
Madame Sarah Grand, writer, suffragist, and sometime Lady Mayoress of Bath (alongside Mayor Cedric Chivers) lived at number 7 from c.1926–1942/3. [4]
