II

Mid C19. Stone rubble. Roof covered with red "fishscale"
tiles. Red-brick chimneys, 2 of them with round and louvred
chimney-pots. Double-depth plan composed of one long range
with 2 shorter ranges at right-angles to it; the shorter
ranges occupy only two thirds the length of the long range,
leaving space for an entrance porch at the west end. Romantic
Gothic design.
2 storeys, multi-gabled with scalloped bargeboards and finials
on each gable. Main front, facing north-west, is twin-gabled
and 2 windows wide. All windows visible from road have wooden
casements with pointed arches to the lights and widely-spaced
horizontal glazing bars; canted bay window to right of ground
storey. West front has similar detail; doorway with pointed
stone arch, plank door.
INTERIOR not inspected.
The house is not shown on the Ilfracombe tithe map of 1840,
although a non-domestic building is shown in about the same
position. Approximately 20 metres to the south-east is a
summerhouse (qv) of similar date to the house.
