Ground and first floors have 6/6 sashes where original, some with radial glazing to heads; second floor has 3/6 sashes, all in plain reveals and with sills; blind boxes to several windows (Nos 19, 21, 23 and 27).

HISTORICAL NOTE: the land for this development was sold in 1837 for »50,000 to a joint stock company, the Bayshill Estate Company, following the death of Revd Richard Skillicorne (1834). The Bayshill Estate included Bayshill Road (qv) and Parabola Road (qv). The terrace bears a similarity to a design carried out in 1825 for Robert Morris by JB Papworth, differing in the omission of one storey and half-round arches over the first-floor windows. Radford observes, 'The ends of the terrace are carefully detailed which is unusual for Cheltenham terraces'. Trident House was formerly known as Fauconberg Lodge. (Sampson A and Blake S: A Cheltenham Companion: Cheltenham: 1993-: 11; Radford S: The Terraced Houses of Cheltenham 1800-1850: 1992-: 122-131).
