Numbers 1 To 11 And Attached Railings To Numbers 3 To 11

This is a terrace of five houses, with a detached house to one side (numbers 1 to 11, odd), now converted into flats. The terrace was built between 1834 and 1837 and is located on Evesham Road, Cheltenham. The construction is brick with stuccoed front facades, and slate roofs. Tall brick chimney stacks with cornices are a prominent feature. The railings are of iron.

The design is almost symmetrical, with a central breakforward at number 5 featuring two giant fluted Ionic columns that extend through the first and second floors, and two engaged Doric pillars on either side. The front facades are three storeys high with basements, featuring horizontal rustication to the ground floor and drawn voussoirs above the windows. Numbers 1 to 11 share architectural details, with pilasters between windows on the first and second floors, and a crowning architrave, frieze, dentil cornice and a pediment. Number 1 also has detailed architraves to its first and second floor windows with cornices. Most windows are 6/6 sash windows, with some 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes; the first-floor windows are taller. Ground-floor windows at number 11 have blind boxes. The entrances consist of flights of roll-edged steps leading to 3- and 4-panel doors, some with upper glazed panels and margin-lights. Number 1 has a central entrance with a Doric porch and a detailed architrave.

The rear of the building retains some original 6/6 sash windows, some with margin-lights. Inside number 3, original joinery and plasterwork remain, including a hall with acanthus modillions and an egg-and-dart frieze, a narrow staircase with iron balusters, and a tiled hall floor.

The railings include those to the sides of the steps, stick balusters between numbers 3 and 5, and scrolled lozenge motifs. First-floor balconies are continuous between houses, aside from those at number 7, which are individual. Number 7 retains first-floor blind boxes. Number 1 has individual window guards to the first floor with concentric circular motifs and spearhead area railings.

The terrace was originally named Caledonia Terrace, and later Blenheim Parade in 1841. It was constructed as part of a development undertaken for Joseph Pitt between 1825 and 1842.
