Stucco; tiled mansard roof over moulded parapet cornice with slatehanging to front of roof flanking attic windows; stuccoed end stacks with moulded cornices. Double-depth plan. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys plus attic over basement; symmetrical 4-window front with late C19 or C20 2-pane horned sashes. Stucco detail includes: tetrastyle Tuscan porch with moulded entablature, the moulded cornice surmounted by a roundelled balustrade repeated over flanking slightly-projecting tripartite windows linked by a cornice string; 1st-floor sill string, eared architraves with moulded cornice hoods; 2nd-floor sill string with round brackets to shorter windows with eared architraves. Central pair of doorways, the right-hand doorway partly blocked and fitted with small sash. INTERIOR: not inspected but likely to be of interest. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: low freestone forecourt plinth surmounted by original wrought-iron railings with cast-iron finials in bays between arched open "piers" with anthemion decoration and turned cast-iron columns/lamp standards flanking entrance. Included as part of an important planned group of terraces and villas by Foulston and his pupil Wightwick on the Hoe, a scheme which placed Plymouth in the forefront of town planning in the early/mid C19.
