1 And 3, Spencer Street

1 and 3 Spencer Street is a pair of semi-detached villas, currently serving as a house, restaurant, and nursery. They were built in 1842, as indicated by the date on the rainwater head, and have undergone later additions and alterations. The buildings are constructed of pinkish-brown brick, which has been whitewashed on the front and side facades, and feature a Welsh slate roof with a fish-scale pattern. They are designed in the Neo-Tudor style.

The villas are two storeys tall with a basement and have five first-floor windows. The second and fourth windows are set in projecting gabled bays, with an additional two-storey range to the rear left that has one first-floor window. The main range has a double-chamfered plinth. On the first floor, there is a moulded band at the centre, above which the floor projects slightly. Three small canted oriel windows are present, with the central window featuring traceried lights. Between these are two-light 'mullion and transom' casement windows with chamfered surrounds and sills, all beneath hollow-moulded hoods.

The ground floor has entrances on the left and in the centre, with steps leading to part-glazed doors that have arched upper panels, set in a 4-centre-arched surround with a hoodmould. To the right, there are two canted bay windows with 'mullion and transom' casement windows, and a three-light 'mullion and transom' casement window with a chamfered surround, sill, hoodmould, and a blind box. The basement features casement windows. The gable ends have quatrefoil decorations, with the left gable also having a hoodmould. Decorative bargeboards are present, and the range to the left has a first-floor casement window with a cambered arch and a chamfered surround and sill. The ground floor includes a board door with an ungazed fanlight featuring ornate ironwork, set beneath a cogged arch in a chamfered surround. The rainwater head is inscribed with the initials 'JG'.

Historically, in around 1872, No. 3 was the residence of Dr. Frederick F. Haynes, one of the early players of lawn tennis, a sport that was developed in Royal Leamington Spa. Spencer Street was laid out between 1832 and 1850.
