DARTMOUTH
SX874510 SMITH STREET 673-1/8/216 (North side) No.6
GV II
Small shop, now a cafeteria, with house above. Probably C17 with some later modernisation. Mixed construction; stone rubble side walls with roughcast timber-framed front; stone rubble stack in left side wall with C19 rendered brick chimneyshaft; pantile roof, replacing slate. PLAN: Small house, end onto the street, originally one or 2 rooms deep. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; one-window front, remodelled in mid C19. Ground floor has plain C19 timber shop front, having window with glazing bars, doorway to right containing C20 glazed door, end pilasters to fascia. Roughcast above with single central horned 4-pane sash window with horizontal glazing bars to each floor. Plain eaves and hipped front end of the roof. INTERIOR: Only the ground floor was inspected. The scantling of the chamfered crossbeam and the joists indicates their C17 date. Other C17 features, some probably hidden by later plaster, probably survive on the upper floors. An interesting survival of a very small C17 house, more on the scale of a shopkeeper rather than a merchant. When built, it was in a prime trading position at the junction of Higher Street and Smith Street.
