59 To 87, St Georges Road

This is a terrace of fifteen houses, numbered 59 to 87 St George's Road, built around 1848-1853. The terrace is located in Cheltenham. The buildings are now used as houses, flats, and a hotel. The houses are constructed of ashlar, largely painted over brick, with slate roofs and triangular stacks topped with brackets. Iron balconies are a prominent feature.

The houses are arranged with a double-depth plan, featuring side staircases that alternate between right and left, creating pairs of houses. Each pair has an open, pedimented breakforward, with full-height ranges at the rear. The houses are two storeys high with attics within the pediments. They each have two bays, featuring a one-window and a triple-window arrangement.

The architectural style is Italianate. The facades have a band above the ground floor, a moulded string above the first floor, and wide, bracketed eaves. Throughout the terrace, round-arched windows are a characteristic feature. These windows generally have 1/1 sashes with horns. The triple windows in the breakforwards have imposts and continuous moulding to the head, while first-floor windows have continuous sills supported by brackets and end pillars for railings, creating a balustrade effect. Windows at number 75 have blind boxes. Number 87 has a canted bay window on the ground floor. Basement windows are of the 4/4, 3/3, and 3/6 sash type. Attic windows in the pediments have tooled surrounds and sills on feet. Round-arched architraves and imposts supported by corbel brackets frame the doors and windows above. Central doorways are paired, with studded two- and four-panel doors and plain fanlights, accessed by stone balustraded steps. Basement windows are segment-headed. Number 87 is not part of a paired arrangement. Some roof dormers have been inserted. The rear of the terrace retains 6/6 sashes.

Interior features include original joinery, such as panelled shutters. Number 83 retains a dogleg staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, and plasterwork featuring a cornice to the hall with acanthus modillions.

The balconies, located on the ground and first floors, have mainly round-arched arcades. Number 87's balcony displays a Greek key pattern, while those at numbers 75 and 77 feature an ornate motif with a circle.

The terrace was formerly named York Terrace.
