Location of Portland Place in Somerset

Portland Place in Bath, Somerset, England was built around 1786 and many of the houses have been designated as listed buildings.

Numbers 1 to 10 including numbers 4 and 5 which were used as Hermitage House School are Grade II* listed (and before 2010 were Grade I listed),[1][2][5] as is the high pavement in front of them. In the centre of the steps is a double ramp which was built to enable easier access for sedan chairs.[6]

Numbers 13, 14 and 16 are Grade II listed.[3] Numbers 17 to 20 follow a similar style and are also Grade II listed. Numbers 17 and 20 have Roman Doric doorcases with pediments.[4]
