GV II*
Detached house. Early C19. Solid rendered walls. Centre block has hipped slate roof; wings have flat roofs. Rendered chimney on each end wall. Centre entrance passage leading to bowed stair-turret at rear. Front room at either side; behind left-hand room a passage leading to kitchen in left wing. Right wing has one room with external rear access only. Added lean-to behind kitchen passage and against right wall of wing. Picturesque Gothic style. 2 storeys; wings may originally have been single-storeyed. Front 3-windows wide with blind wings. Openings have pointed, incurving arches, those in ground storey with reeded imposts. Wood-framed French windows in ground storey, each leaf of 4 panes with margin-panes. Front door is similar, but late C20 near-replica. All 3 openings have transom-lights with intersecting glazing bars; reeded transom at the base. Upper-storey windows closely similar, but with 3-paned wood casements with margin-panes. Panelled pilaster-strip at each end of front. Deep flat eaves cornice with brackets and soffit-panels. Across front of ground storey a trellised wood porch with swept roof; rebuilt 1988. Wings each have a semicircular niche with round arch; inside, urns on pedestals. Flanking each wing is a narrow projection rising part-way up the wall; in right wing the left projection is considerably the taller, suggesting perhaps that the wings were originally lower with shaped tops. Rear wall has windows similar to those at the front with most of the soffit-panels missing. INTERIOR: Entrance passage has groined vault divided by reeded arches. Moulded door frames with flowers in top corners; 6-panelled doors with raised mouldings on the panels. Cantilevered wood staircase, the treads with moulded mosings continued on to soffit; thin square balusters. Handrail voluted at bottom. Moulded cornice and coved ceiling to stair compartment. Panelled shutters to stair windows. First-floor gallery rail bowed. Right-hand ground-storey room has moulded coved cornice. Panelled shutters front and back. C19/C20 wood chimneypiece with coloured patterned tiles and iron grate. Left-hand ground-storey room has coved moulded cornice and panelled shutters. Kitchen has original segmental-headed dresser with moulded shelves, at either end of it a panelled cupboard with raised moulding on the panels. Plain panelled shutters. Upper floor has lobby with groined vault. Door frames like those on ground storey; 4-panelled doors with raised moulding on the panels. The 3 main rooms have moulded cornices, that in middle room coved. A particularly fine example of its type, the best of several built in Brixham for the Gillard family, namely Eveleigh House, Doctors Road, Burton Villa, Burton Street and Norton House, Milton Street (qv).
