Description

No. 1 Queens Road is a villa built around 1830-34, featuring stucco over brick with a hipped slate roof and stuccoed ridge stacks that have cornices. The design is three-sided. The building has two storeys above a basement and four first-floor windows. The right end has a wider bay that projects forward. The stucco detailing includes tooled architraves around the windows, with those on the first floor resting on feet.

On the first floor, there are three 1/1 sash windows, with the right window being a blind opening. The ground floor features a tripartite window with 1/1 sashes on the left and a blind round-arched window on the right, which has a keystone. The entrance is off-centre, consisting of a four-panel door with an overlight, set within a Doric pillared porch that has an entablature. The basement has blind openings. The eaves are wide and supported by brackets.

The right return has four first-floor windows, all 1/1 sashes in tooled architraves with feet, and the third first-floor window is blind. The basement also has 1/1 sash windows. The rear facade, facing the garden, has six first-floor windows, with three on the left in a full-height canted bay. Most of these are 1/1 sashes in tooled architraves, with those on the first floor resting on feet. The ground floor has French windows at the centre of the bay.

The right and rear returns feature continuous balconies on the ground floor with a heart-and-anthemion motif from the Carron Company, along with an individual balcony at the canted angle. Steps leading down from the French doors have stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. The balcony on the right return is supported by embellished brackets, while the one at the rear is on stanchions. The front entrance is topped with a tent-roofed hood on embellished scroll brackets.

Historically, the villa was shown as built and named 'Westall' on Merrett's Map of 1834. It occupies a prominent corner site at the junction with Lansdown Road, which is a major approach to Cheltenham.
