GV II
House, divided into 2. Probably late C17. Picturesque. MATERIALS: Rendered local red breccia; thatched roof; stacks with rendered shafts. PLAN: Overall Z-plan. The main block is single-depth with one principal room heated from an end stack (now axial with the wing) and an entrance into the end of an outshut on the front which also contains a winder stair. The wing, which is on a slightly different axis is one room on plan heated from an end stack with a later block at right-angles to the rear. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. The entrance elevation of the main block has a one-window front, the verge thatch swept down over the projecting end of the outshut to the left. C20 boarded front door into outshut with ornamental strap hinges. Windows mostly C20 timber casements with diamond leaded panes. To the right a 3-light casement under a slate pentice, small 2-light casement above. The right return, the front of the wing, has a C20 boarded door and one ground and one first floor 3-light casement. The front of the outshut, parallel with the road, has a 3-light casement. The left return of this elevation has a probably C18 small one-light stair window. Pitched stone yard in front of house. INTERIOR: The main block has roughly carpentered beams with C20 joists. Fireplace partially blocked. Timber winder stair to first floor. Principal rafters visible on the first floor are quite substantial straight timbers, suggesting a C17 or C18 A-frame roof construction. The wing is entirely plain inside with almost all the internal carpentry renewed in the last ten years; fireplace blocked. HISTORY: An early 1930s photograph of the building indicates that the external openings are unaltered since that date. (Tully P: Peter Tully's Pictures of Paignton, Part II: 1992-: 36).
