Description



DARTMOUTH

SX874510 ABOVE TOWN
673-1/8/15 (West side)
23/10/72 Nos.12 AND 14
(Formerly Listed as:
ABOVE TOWN
Nos.10 AND 12)

GV II

Pair of houses. Probably late C18/early C19, possibly with
earlier origins, with some later modernisation. Mostly
plastered walls; side walls are stone rubble but upper part of
the front is timber-framed, and front of No.12 is clad with
asbestos slate above first-floor level; chimneyshafts not
visible; slate roof.
PLAN: Similar layouts, one room wide, 2 rooms deep, with left
entrance.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; 2-window range. No.14, to left, has a
plastered front lightly blocked out as ashlar and with a
reeded timber cornice at first-floor level. At the left end,
the end of the stone side wall projects slightly nearly up to
second-floor level, surely from an earlier house here. Doorway
at the left end contains a C20 door behind a contemporary
shallow plastered porch with a monopitch slate roof.
One-window front of flush-frame horned 4-pane sashes. No.12,
to right, has plastered ground floor with asbestos
slate-hanging above. Left-hand front doorway has a fielded
3-panel door under a plain overlight and a timber hood
supported on brackets carved as rearing horses (reused oriel
brackets from a C17 merchant's house). One-window front of
original sash windows, 12-pane sashes to the ground and first
floors and a 3/6-pane sash to the second floor. Both houses
have a moulded timber eaves cornice to a parallel roof hipped
both ends.
INTERIOR: Not inspected but likely to be of interest.
