Evesham House Little Evesham House

The property comprises two semi-detached villas, Evesham House and Little Evesham House, located on Wellington Road in Cheltenham. They were built around 1833 for Honourable Andrew Ramsay, with Little Evesham House likely added around 1841. The construction is stucco over brick, with a concealed roof.

Evesham House, to the north, has a symmetrical facade with four first-floor windows. Key exterior features include four Doric pilasters between the windows and door, a continuous dentil entablature which projects over the pilasters, and a crowning dentil entablature with a low parapet and copings. The original windows are 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes, all set in plain reveals with sills. The ground floor has six openings, with the second being round-arched. There is a single-storey porch to the left with a four-panel part-glazed door and sidelights, topped with a cornice. The right return, facing Evesham Road, has three first-floor windows. The central entrance features two fluted Ionic half-columns extending through the ground and first floors, flanking a central window and with paired Doric pillars at its ends, topped by a dentil entablature. A flight of steps leads to a central entrance with a four-panel door, sidelights, and an overlight incorporating margin lights. Ground-floor windows have tooled architraves and pediments on console brackets. One ground-floor window is blind and contains a 1/1 lugged sash. The first floor retains 6/6 sashes. The rear of the building also features 6/6 sashes.

The interior of the building has not been inspected.

These villas were constructed as part of a wider development in the area undertaken for Joseph Pitt between 1825 and 1842, with the initial layout designed by architect John Forbes.
