First floor has 3/6 and 6/6 sashes in plain reveals and with tooled architraves, the outer windows also with cornice on consoles. Ground floor retains Corinthian pilasters surmounted by continuous frieze and dentil cornice; entrances are double, part-glazed doors with overlights; shop-fronts mainly have 2- and 3-light round-headed windows with slender pilasters between, except at left there are panelled pilasters and rectangular lights. Surmounting balustrade with bulbous balusters (missing at left). Attics have 2/2 sashes to roof dormers. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: in his Guide to Cheltenham, written in 1845 but published in 1850, George Rowe noted, 'The handsome shops in Montpellier Avenue' and his Guide reveals these as occupied by (left to right): Mr Bray, Tailor; Mr Stroud, Boots and Shoes; next but one is Mr Woodward, Fishmonger, Poulterer, Dealer in Game and Wild Fowl; Gardner and Co, General Tea Dealers and Grocers. This terrace belongs to the first stage of the Montpellier shopping development. A similar design to Montpellier Arcade (qv).
