GV II

House, divided into 2 properties. Early C19. Colourwashed, plastered and blocked
out, probably stone; asbestos slate roof; end stacks.
Double depth plan, 2 rooms wide, probably originally with a central passage and rear
service rooms.
2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-bay front with a Lombardic frieze below the eaves.
Central 6-panel recessed front door (top panels glazed) with a doorcase with
pilasters and a cornice with a Lombardic frieze.
C19 front door to no. 39 at extreme left of the range. 3 first floor sash windows:
the left hand 12-pane and probably original; the centre and right are 4-pane
replacements in original embrasures. Ground floor window left is a 16-pane original
sash, ground floor right a 4-pane replacement in original embrasure.
An attractive example of the type of early C19 house characteristic of Chudleigh
architecture after the great fire of 1807. The Lombardic friezes are a nice
variation on the more common dentil frieze.
