SS9512 ST PETER STREET, Tiverton 848-1/6/288 (West side) 14/12/72 Nos.26, 26A, 28 AND 28A (Formerly Listed as: ST PETER'S STREET (West side) Nos.26 AND 28)

GV II

Pair of houses, now four flats. c1790s (information from the owner). Smooth-plastered mass wall construction; asbestos slate roof, hipped at ends; end stack with brick shafts. Rear of No.28 slate-hung; No.26 reputed to have cob party wall with No.24 (qv). PLAN: believed to have been built as one (No.26) for the developer with a smaller, but matching house for rental; flying freehold with entrance passage to No.28 under first floor of No.26. 2 rooms wide and two rooms deep but the houses do not have the same plan. Both had basement kitchens. No.26 has a rear projection containing the stair, which is on a more generous scale than No.28, which has a service room in the rear projection and a more cramped turning stair within the main block. Side passage to left of No.26. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and basement. Half-glazed door to passage to left. 2:2-window front. Houses have front doors with round-headed doorways with pilasters with sunk panels and fluted capitals. 6-panel doors with fielded upper panels (top panels glazed); blind fanlights with fielded panelled quarter-circles; boot-scraper to No.28. Windows have boxed frames and some old glass; bottle glass to basement windows. 16-pane sashes to ground floor, and first floors right; 12-pane sashes above front doors. 2 over 8-pane sashes to second floor right; 3 over 6 to left. INTERIOR: features of interest survive in both houses, including original: 2-panel doors, stick baluster stairs of different designs, plaster cornices, cupboards with original hinges and later Victorian chimney-pieces. HISTORY: this pair of houses is particularly interesting as a development where both houses appear to be the same externally but where, internally, one is far more modest in scale.
