Pair of adjoining villas, 1 build. 1852 (information from owner). Colourwashed and
stuccoed, probably stone, with rusticated quoins ; hipped slate roofs ; rendered
stacks. Italianate.
Plan: Pair of identical villas, set back from the roadside. Teign View Villa, to the
right, has a main block, 1 room wide, 2 rooms deep with a separately-roofed service
wing to the rear, entrance in small set-back block at right end into an axial passage
between the 2 front rooms, stair against party wall with Hillside. Plan of Hillside
presumably identical, in reverse.
Exterior: 3 storeys to the main block and very prominent in Fore Street. Each house
has a 2 storey canted bay with hipped roof glazed with original plate glass timber
sashes and 3 grouped round-headed second floor windows with keystones, glazed with
sashes. The set-back porch blocks have steps up to panelled front doors, narrow 2-
pane sashes to the first floor and narrow 2 pane sashes in round-headed openings to
the second floor.
Interior: Teign View Villa only inspected but Hillside may be equally intact. Very
complete mid C19 interior of quite an ornate character with decorated plaster
cornices to the principal rooms at the front and elaborate egg and dart moulding to
the ground and first floor rooms. Mid C19 marble chimneypiece with original iron
fireplace to ground floor room ; good dog-leg stair with landing with stick balusters
and a wreathed handrail ; joinery intact throughout.
A tall garden wall in front of Teign View Villa with a doorway from the street to the
garden is included in the listing.
A pair of intact mid C19 villas, Teign View Villa very intact internally as Hillside
may also be, making an important contribution to a fine streetscape.
