Pair of semi-detached houses. Early C19.
MATERIALS: limestone rubble, Plymouth stone and freestone
dressings; continuous slate roof with stacks to the front
slopes of the gable ends, that to the left is rendered and
truncated, that to the right is brick.
PLAN: double-depth.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys including an attic floor in the parapet;
symmetrical 3-window range. Continuous cornice and moulded
coping to the parapet, low plinth and rendered pilasters.
3/3-pane sash windows to the second floor, 6/6-panes to the
rest and those to the sides have margin panes.
The central bay is stepped forward and the first-floor central
window has small doors below allowing access, when the sash is
up, to a reed-edged balcony on brackets which forms a porch.
The balcony has fine cast-iron trellis railings. The 6-panel
paired central doors each have a pointed-arch overlight with
Gothic glazing bars under a shared semi-elliptical arch. The
returns are rendered with C20 windows to the left, the upper
part of the right return is slate-hung.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: a Devon limestone plinth, now flush with
the pavement, encloses former forecourts, that to No.3 to the
right retains spearhead railings with urn finials.
A distinguished semi-detached pair, with an unusually unified
facade and shared entrance.
