Architraves enriched with paterae; those to ground floor with round-arched heads and carved acanthus keystones; those to first floor have sills on enriched cornices.

Wide overhanging eaves. INTERIOR: not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: spearhead railings to sides of steps to left and centre houses. HISTORICAL NOTE: The Bayshill Estate was developed by a joint stock company which purchased land from the Skillicorne family in 1837. By 1843 Henry Davies, in his Guide to Cheltenham, describes `a number of detached villas .. several of which are occupied by resident families of affluence and station, and others are in an unfinished state.' Little considers these to be part of, `a superb group (of villas) that make Bayshill Road one of the great roads for architecture in all England'. The stucco detail is particularly distinctive.
