Description



PAIGNTON

SX8961 OLD TORQUAY ROAD
1947-1/4/65 (North side)
13/03/51 Nos.32 AND 34

GV II

House, divided into 2 cottages. Probably mid C17 or earlier in
origin. Rendered mass wall; thatched roof, hipped at ends;
large projecting front lateral stack with roughcast shaft and
paired pots with toothed cresting. Single-depth to main range,
2-rooms-wide, now with left and right doorways facing stairs.
Later rear outshuts (not thatched).
2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3:1-window front, the lateral
stack shouldered with drip ledges. Recessed C20 doors to left
and right; ground-floor C20 small-pane bow windows towards the
centre. 4 first-floor small-pane timber 3-light casements. The
right return of No.34 has a first-floor window with probably
early C19 two-light casement with glazing bars. INTERIOR:
No.32 modernised. No.34 said to retain early exposed carpentry
but access to interior unobtainable on survey. One of a group
of pre-C19 vernacular houses in Preston.
