GV II

House, now subdivided to form 3 separate houses. Early C18, remodelled externally (and to some extent internally) in early C19. MATERIALS: rendered walls, mostly solid, but front and back walls in third storey of front range are timber framed; rear wall of rear range (overlooking river) is slate hung. Painted brick fronts to internal courtyard. Slated roofs; front range hipped. 3 red brick chimneys on rear wall of front range and several more on rear ranges; all are an important element in the view up-river from Exe Bridge. PLAN: built round 4 sides of a courtyard. Front range (No.22) is 1 room deep; 2 rooms wide with entrance-hall and staircase compartment in the centre. Right-hand rooms have angle fireplace in rear left-hand corner. Date of rear ranges uncertain; they must be at least early C19, but rear range (No.18) has a steeply-pitched roof suggesting that it, at least, could be contemporary with the front range. The 2 side ranges (No.20) are linked by a lean-to behind the front range. EXTERIOR: front range 3-storey (top storey the original garret, boxed out in C19); side and rear ranges 2-storey, with garret in rear range. Basement beneath front and rear ranges. Symmetrical front 3 windows wide with doorway in place of middle ground-storey window. Door has 2 tall flush panels; flush-panelled reveals, 2-paned fanlight with margin panes. Panelled flanking pilasters supporting entablature. Round-headed iron shoe-scrapper set into wall on right-hand side. Windows have moulded architraves and flush-framed barred sashes. Ground- and second-storey windows have 12-paned sashes, except that the outer windows, which are of 3 lights, have 3-paned sashes; 6-paned sashes in third storey. Boxed wooden eaves cornice. Left side walls of all 3 parts of the house (visible from St Peter Street) have barred sashes of 6 or 8 panes. Returns of No.22 has 3-paned French windows in ground storey; both this and the 3-light window above have 2-paned side sashes. No.18 has doorway with wooden trellised porch and swept pentroof. barred sashes also in rear wall, those in ground storey slightly bowed. INTERIOR: stair, rising from rear of entrance hall, is of wood; early C19 open well with cut strings, thin square balusters and continuous handrail (altered at the foot) as far as first-floor landing. Original dog-leg above, though with lighter timbers than many examples of this period; moulded closed strings, square newels with flat moulded caps and small turned pendants, and flat-handrail (balusters boarded in). Box cornice on first-floor landing. Right-hand ground storey room has original moulded ceiling with 2 oval panels having high-relief foliated bosses in the centre; coved cornice round perimeter of ceiling and along sides of centre beam. Left-hand room has raised and fielded, ovolo-moulded panelled shutters at the front; C19 panelled shutters to French windows at the side. Second-storey right-hand room has early C19 reeded stone chimneypiece (now painted); 2-panelled, ovolo-moulded cupboard door. Left-hand room has early C20 wood chimneypiece decorated with swags and garlands; oval mirror in centre of overmantel. Third storey has original trusses, one with housings for a former notched lap-jointed collar; 1 door with 2 raised and fielded ovolo-moulded panels. As the end block of the continuous built-up frontage between here and St Peter's churchyard, these houses hold a key position in the street.
