GV II

Villa and attached carriage house. 1838. Architect, Rowland Paul and Sons of Cheltenham for Stubbs Wightwick JP, builder Henry Haines. Set back from the road. Stucco over brick with slate roof, brick and stucco left end stack with cornice. Tudor-Gothic style. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attics to gables, 3 first-floor windows. Left gabled bay breaks forward and has projecting single-storey porch; further projecting bay set back to left with ground-floor window, and with gabled carriage house attached to left again. Stucco detailing includes hoodmoulds over windows to ground and first floors, tooled first-floor band. 8/8 sashes where original with wider chamfered glazing-bar at centre reading as mullion, in chamfered reveals. Entrance: flight of roll-edged steps to solid porch has buttresses with offsets and surmounting pinnacles, double panelled 4-centre-arched doors in chamfered 4-centred surround; surmounting shield, frieze and cornice, raised to a peak over arms. Overhanging eaves and gables with cusped barge-boards. Gabled end, south, with battlemented splay bay. Rear has further battlemented splay bay with 8/8 sashes. Gabled carriage house at left has 2/2 sash and hoodmould and with single light to gable. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: built as part of the development of this area undertaken for Joseph Pitt in 1825-42, the general layout by the architect John Forbes. SY Griffith's 'History of Cheltenham and its Vicinity' (1838) records that the house was 'designed by Paul & Sons' and 'built by (Henry) Haines & Son'. A fine example of a Tudor Gothic villa, its setting benefitting from the complete boundary walls (qv) in matching style. Malden Court occupies a corner site at the junction of Pittville Lawn and Central Cross Drive. All the villas on Pittville Lawn form a distinguished architectural group. (Blake S: Pittville: 1824-1860: Cheltenham: 1988-: 14-17,72; Griffith SY: History of Cheltenham and its Vicinity: 1838-; The Buildings of England: Verey D: Gloucestershire: The Vale and The Forest of Dean: London: 1970-: 152).
