GV II*

Large house. Mid C18. Solid rendered ground storey; painted
slate-hung upper storeys (almost certainly timber-framed).
Rendered, stone rubble left side wall. Roughcast rear wall
(also likely to be timber-framed). Slated roofs in 3 spans at
right-angles to street: hipped front and back, the fronts
disguised to look like a parallel roof. Rendered chimneys on
each gable end and on ridge of 2 left-hand spans. Rear
building rendered with corrugated-iron roof. 3 storeys. 6
windows wide. Doorway in place of second ground-storey window
from right: moulded architrave, flat hood on shaped brackets,
panelled reveals, the bottom panels flush, late C19 or early
C20 panelled doors. At left-hand end carriage entrance with
diagonally-planked doors. All windows have 8-paned sashes in
flush frames. Moulded box-cornice above ground storey, the
slate-hanging swept forward on top of it. Plain
pilaster-strips flanking the whole front. Bracketed
eaves-cornice. Rear wall has sashes matching those at the
front. Rear building has mullioned windows with leaded lights;
it may have been a stable and coach house, but it could also
have contained a kitchen in the Devon urban tradition.
