DARTMOUTH
SX874510 SMITH STREET 673-1/8/217 (South side) No.7
GV II
Shop and house, part of the former house now used as offices. The eastern side wall is ancient (C17 or earlier), but main building rebuilt in the late C18/early C19 with some later modernisation. Mixed construction; stone rubble side walls and plastered timber-framed front and back walls; stone rubble stacks in left side wall with rendered brick chimneyshafts; slate roof. PLAN: The ancient eastern side wall suggests the former existence of a C17 front block, gallery and rear block plan merchant's house, rebuilt in the early C19, when the whole building was raised in height and a staircase built in the former courtyard, connected to the front by a right-hand side passage. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. 2-window front modernised in the late C19 with a good new timber shop front; single-light plate glass windows on low stallboards of glazed brick, each side of recessed doorway containing bottom-panelled glazed door. Passage doorway to right under overlight with central glazing bar. Full-width fascia with moulded cornice and cast-iron crest between large brackets featuring stooks of wheat (for a bakery presumably). Plaster above lightly blocked out as ashlar with rusticated quoins each end and 2-window front of late C19 horned 4-pane sashes. Plain eaves to hipped roof. Left (east) end is roughcast but clearly shows sections of the ancient side wall which corbels out at the front to take jetties. The former courtyard gap is filled with slate-hung timber-framing and contains, amongst other sashes with glazing bars, a tall 24-pane sash. INTERIOR: Side passage with stone-flagged floor through front block to a small courtyard/light well with stairblock to right containing a stick-baluster stair. Other late C18 and C19 joinery detail and other features.
