Summary

A detached house built in the mid-C19, possibly to a design by Henry Goodridge.

Reasons for Designation

* Architectural interest: a good example of a little altered mid-Victorian Italianate villa; * Group value: it is one of an interesting group of four mid-C19 villas in Cleveland Walk that were built at four-year intervals in differing Italianate styles and are listed.

History

Brandon House which was formerly called Caerbadon House, is one of a group of four detached villas that were constructed in the mid-C19 and were the first houses to be built on Cleveland Walk. They were possibly built to a design by the architect Henry Goodridge for the Factors of the Bathwick Estate.
