Description
48 and 50 Painswick Road are a pair of semi-detached villas built around 1830 to 1850. They are constructed of stucco over brick with a slate roof and brick end stacks.
The exterior features two storeys above a basement and has four first-floor windows. The outer bays are wider, gabled, and project forward. The stucco detailing includes quoins at the corners and on the raised party wall, a ground-floor band, and a moulded first-floor band topped in the center by a balustrade with a concentric circle motif. The windows have roll-moulded architraves that end in lower scrolls. The first floor has pairs of 1/1 round-arched horned sash windows on the outer sides with a similar single window in between, while the ground floor has triple windows of the same style. There are flights of steps leading to the central entrances, which have three-panel doors and fanlights, with tooled arches resting on acanthus corbels and featuring keystones. Low coped walls flank the steps. The basements contain three 1/1 sash windows with chamfered mullions between.
Inside, the villas retain original joinery, including four-panel doors and dividing doors, as well as a dogleg staircase with stick balusters and a lion's paw design on the newel post. The original plasterwork includes moulded cornices.
