Terrace of 5 Houses, now hotels. 1825. Part of a planned
layout by Andrew Patey of Exeter. Painted stucco; freestone
parapet coping, continuous cornice, 1st-floor band, impost
band to the ground floor and sills; slate roofs with brick and
rendered stacks, some truncated, to gable ends and party
walls. Double-depth plans with 3-storey rear stair lobbies and
other rear additions.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys with attics and basements; each house is
3-window range. Nos 6-9 are almost unaltered, they each have a
segmental-arched 2-light dormer, 6/6-pane sash windows to the
2nd floor, 6/9-pane sashes and similar cast-iron balconies to
the 1st floor and semicircular-arched 6/6-pane sashes with
radial glazing bars to the ground floor in recessed panels.
The doorcases have similar arches with vermiculated voussoirs,
mask keystones, panelled soffits and reveals and fanlight over
6-panel doors. No.8 has decorative fanlights, the inner door
also has margin panes. No.9 has a large C20 porch to the left.
No.10 was altered late C19. It has moulded architraves to
plate-glass windows, the 1st-floor balcony has a hipped slate
roof and cast-iron trellises and a C20 large projecting
hipped-roofed porch to the right. C20 upper floor replaces the
attic.
The left return with similar windows has a late C19
single-storey rectangular porch with a modillion cornice and
3 arches. 6/6-pane sash windows to the basements, planked
doors with 3-pane overlights.
The 3-window range right return has semicircular-arched
windows flanking the stack above the cornice, incised key
pattern pilasters to the upper floors, chamfered rustication
to the ground floor, raised surrounds and bracketed sills to
6/6-pane sash windows, blind to the left, and an enclosed
projecting porch with recessed panels to the pilasters
supporting a simple entablature slightly pedimented to front
and sides with antefixae to the corners.

The rears of Nos 7 and 8 have 6/6-pane sash windows and
full-height curved bays beside stair turrets.
INTERIORS: not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the areas of Nos 6 to 9 are fronted by
recessed sides to square-section railings with cast-iron
flambeau heads.
This terrace forms part of an overall planned layout by Patey,
forming a crescent facing the sea.
