Description
Dean Close House is a large house dated 1875 to the entrance porch, situated on the south side of Lansdown Road, Cheltenham. It is built of coursed stone over brick with ashlar dressings, a hipped slate roof, and ashlar end stacks. The house is two storeys high with a 3:2:2 window arrangement on the front facade, with the end bays projecting forward.
The exterior features a chamfered plinth, quoins to the corners, and a stepped first-floor band which serves as a cornice over the ground-floor windows and a sill band to the first floor. Windows have tooled architraves and embellished console brackets to the ground-floor windows, and are fitted with 1/1 horned sashes. Wide eaves are present. The west facade, which serves as the entrance, is two storeys high, with two first-floor windows and projecting end bays. A central entrance is set behind a wide opening flanked by two Doric columns, leading to a panelled door between 1/1 sash windows. A stack is located in the third bay.
The interior of the house has not been inspected. Formerly known as 'Caynham', it was the residence in 1891 of Lieutenant-Colonel C Berkeley Calcott. It is the largest and grandest house on the south side of Lansdown Road and stands out for its high quality design and detail, particularly the skilled use of masonry.
