Description

74 and 76 Promenade is a house that has been converted into two shops, dating from around 1820 to 1840, with later additions and alterations. The conversion to shops likely occurred before 1845, with a ground-floor shop front added around 1980 to 1990 and a rear range constructed in the 1980s. The building features ashlar stonework over brick, a slate mansard roof, and an end brick stack. It has a double-depth plan with a two-storey service range to the rear on the left side.

The exterior consists of two storeys with attics and three first-floor windows. Notable ashlar detailing includes a tooled first-floor sill band, which is interrupted by paired Doric pilasters at each end and a single pilaster between the windows. There is a cornice below the outer windows and a crowning entablature with a blocking course, along with copings at the right end. The left side has a 1/1 sash window that interrupts the cornice, with a central 6/6 sash and an 8/8 sash to the right, all featuring sills. The attic dormers in the mansard roof have 3/3 sash windows. The ground floor has two glazed shop fronts and glazed doors, while the rear retains 6/6, 4/4, and 2/2 sash windows.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the Promenade was established in 1818 as a tree-lined avenue extending from the Colonnade in the High Street to the Sherborne Spa, which is now the site of the Queen's Hotel. By 1826, it had become a carriage drive with spacious gravelled walks on each side. Although originally lined with elegant houses, by 1845, most of the southeast side was occupied by professional or business establishments, as noted by Rowe in his Cheltenham Guide published in 1850.
