1-21, Cavendish Gardens

This is a terrace of eight houses located on Devonshire Road, dating to around 1840 and commissioned for the Yates family. The buildings are stuccoed and arranged over three storeys and a basement, with a nine-bay design, and the ends project. A one-storey porch projects at each end. The design incorporates a lintel band at the basement level, a band above the ground floor, sill bands, a cornice, and a parapet. The windows are sash windows with architraves; the ground floor windows have panelled aprons, while the first floor windows of the projecting bays have friezed and consoled cornices—though this detailing is absent from the central bays. Inserted windows are visible in the parapet. A central iron balcony is present on the first floor, and the houses have central entrances. The side facades feature applied tetrastyle Corinthian porticoes. The park side of the terrace has a single central pediment supported by giant Corinthian columns extending from the first floor, marking the piano nobile.
