Bearland House And Attached Railings And Gates To Forecourt

The house was built in the 1740s by local lawyer Willian Jones. This involved the rebuilding or remodelling of a previous building on the same site. From 1904 to 1909 the building was used by the High School for Girls (now Denmark Road High School). A fire station was built on the site of the west wing in 1912. Later it was used by the General Post Office in Gloucester as a telephone exchange. which was visited by Prince Charles in February 2020.

The three-storey building has an ornamental facade with wrought iron gates and railings in front of the house. The front of the building is symmetrical with seven-bays with a porch with Roman Ionic columns and a Pulvinated frieze over the door in the central bay. At the top of the front, above the three central bays, is a balustrade parapet with turned balusters. The two-storey wing has a three-bay front. The interior includes a wide central hall with dado panelling and a staircase with balusters.
