Carrick House

Carrick House is a villa, now used as offices, built around 1826 to 1832. It features ashlar stonework over a brick structure with a concealed roof and renewed brick end stacks. The building has a double depth plan, with a central hallway and a service range at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with three windows on the first floor. Notable ashlar detailing includes sunk pilasters at the ends. The central section projects forward and includes a ground floor tetrastyle Ionic porch, complete with an architrave, frieze, and cornice topped with a blocking course. Steps lead up to the central six-panel double doors, which have an overlight with margin glazing. The ground floor features tripartite windows with tall one-over-one sash windows and a cornice supported by consoles. There is a band at the first floor level, where six-over-six sash windows are located; the central window has a tooled architrave. The building is crowned with an architrave, frieze, and cornice with a blocking course. The right side of the building has a full-height bow with a first floor band, six-over-six sashes, and panelled aprons below, with the central window being blind.

The interior has not been inspected. The right-side bow includes a ground-floor verandah with a pierced parapet.

Historically, Carrick House, along with Burlington House, Compass House, Imperial House, and Stanmer House, forms an important group of villas on the east side of Lypiatt Road. This group was designed by Jenkins as part of the estate laid out for James Fisher, which includes Suffolk Square. The designs are reputed to be held in the Gloucester Record Office.
