Number 1 And Attached Railings Number 31 And Attached Railings

Number 1 and 31 Beauchamp Avenue are a pair of houses, now flats, dating to approximately 1828-1832, with later alterations. They are located on the north side of Clarendon Square in Royal Leamington Spa. The houses are constructed of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco facade, topped by a Welsh slate roof, and feature cast-iron railings.

The houses are four storeys high, with a basement, and have six windows on the first floor, arranged in a three-window pattern with the outer bays projecting slightly at the second floor. The ground floor features horizontal rustication while a band runs above the first floor, surmounted by fluted Corinthian pilasters extending through the first and second floors. The first floor has French windows with margin-lights, pilastered surrounds, and consoles supporting pediments. The remaining windows are 15-pane sashes with a continuous frieze, interrupted between the third and fourth windows, and pilaster strips between each window. Each window also has its own individual frieze and cornice, with a pediment above the window on the right. The second floor has 3/6 sashes throughout with plain reveals and tooled architraves, eared to the four central windows. Blind boxes remain to three windows on the right side. A dentil frieze and acanthus modillions are present on the outer bays, culminating in a cornice. The third floor has fielded pilaster strips on the outer bays, with 3/6 sashes throughout, and is finished with a cornice and blocking course. The ground floor entrances are identical: they feature six and four steps leading to a six-panel door with two-pane side-lights and an elliptically arched overlight with decorative glazing bars, all contained within a porch of Doric pillars in antis, featuring fluted, tapering Corinthian columns between and engaged Doric pilasters, topped with a frieze, cornice and blocking course. The ground floor windows are arranged as 6/6 sashes. End and roof stacks are also present.

The interior includes shutters to some rooms. The area railings and those to the sides of the porch have fleur-de-lys finials.

These houses were part of Clarendon Square, designed around 1828 by P.F. Robinson. The gardens within the square were planted with trees in May 1830. The development represents a complete terrace of stucco houses.
