Tontine Buildings

Tontine Buildings is a terrace of ten houses built in 1802, located on Cecily Hill in Cirencester. The buildings are constructed from coursed squared limestone and feature a hipped roof made of Welsh slate, with four ridge stacks—two in red brick and two in stone. The terrace is two stories high and has a total of 23 windows.

On the first floor, there are twelve two-light timber casement windows with glazing bars, set under flat arches with stone cills, along with eleven similar blind openings. The ground floor has eleven matching windows and one blind opening, as well as ten four-panel doors, all under flat arches. A central carriage entrance features an elliptical-headed opening with a keystone and impost blocks.

To accommodate the fall of the street, there is a plinth on the right end only. The buildings have a moulded cornice and a coped parapet. Above the central first-floor window, there is an oval stone plaque with a moulded stone surround that reads "TONTINE BUILDINGS 1802." The front also has 20th-century rooflights, while the rear includes early 19th-century and 20th-century single-storey lean-to extensions. The interiors have not been inspected.
