1 and 2, Cleveland Place East

Nos. 1 and 2 Cleveland Place East are two terrace houses, likely designed by H.E. Goodridge around 1827-30, and altered around 1900. A lease for No. 4 was sold in 1831. The buildings are now shops. They are constructed of limestone ashlar with unseen roofs and moulded stacks to the party walls, with the exception of the stack to the rear of No. 1 which is truncated.

The houses have a double-depth plan and a symmetrical three-window front. They are four storeys high, including an attic. The front features a coped parapet, a cornice and cornice band to the attic, horizontal pilasters to the attic level, and square pilasters to the upper floors. Small circular windows are set within carved stone wreaths on the pilasters at attic level. The attic windows are 3/6-pane sashes, and the second-floor windows are 6/6-pane sashes with moulded architraves. The first-floor windows are stone mullioned tripartite six/six-pane sash windows with semicircular arched recesses and archivolts. There are sill string courses and a first-floor lintel. C1900 shopfronts project with moulded cornices. No. 1 has a segmental pediment over a recessed central door, flanked by three-pane segmental arched overlights to plate glass windows. No. 2 features a four-pane plate glass window and a door to the right.

Internally, both houses retain timber stairs with Doric newels. No. 1 includes a large Victorian mahogany fireplace with glazed arched cupboards and an early Victorian console fireplace with low cupboards in the back room. No. 2 has similar stairs, a stone fireplace, and a Regency hob in the rear room.

These buildings were part of the Late Georgian Cleveland Place and Bridge development on the Bathwick Estate, which began with the estate owner assuming the title of Marquess of Cleveland in 1827. Plans for Nos. 1-3 were drawn up on the house deeds between Edmund Goodridge and others in August 1831. Initially, the buildings contained shops.
