GV II

Terrace of 10 houses. 1868. By RD Gould; minor additions at rear. Pale yellow brick with dressings of limestone and patterned tiles; semi-basements of squared granite rubble. Nos 9 & 18 have added rendering, probably of C20. Slated roofs, hipped at each end of the terrace; crested red ridge-tiles. Large brick chimneys on ridge between each pair of houses, some with good decorated pots, most look rebuilt, except possibly for the chimney between Nos 15 & 16, which is rendered with a moulded cap. Each 1 room wide and 2 rooms deep on ground floor, with entrance passage leading to rear staircase along one side. 2 rooms at the front on upper floors. Most of the houses have a small rear wing, although the irregularity of their design suggests these may be slightly later additions. No.18 differs in having its entrance from the side in Bear Street, leading to entrance passage between front and back rooms. 2 storeys with semi-basement and garret. Nos 10-17 are designed in pairs, each 2-window range. Adjacent doorways in centre of each pair are round-arched and flanked by inset, square columns with carved stone capitals. Moulded imposts, from which spring a hoodmould; keystone with incised decoration. At either side in ground storey a canted bay window with bracketed stone cornice and frieze of patterned, polychrome tiles; low, wrought-iron railing on top. Upper-storey windows have shouldererd stone heads projecting slightly on corbels; those above the canted bays differ in being of 2 lights with a chamfered central mullion. Bracketed eaves cornice. Each house has a large hipped dormer with 2 sash windows (each sash with one upright glazing bar) and a modillioned cornice. Nos 9 & 18 differ in having a 3-light mullioned window replacing the bay in ground storey, the lights round-arched with moulded decoration in the heads. No.9 has a plain doorway with slightly recessed surround and plain keystone. Except in the dormers, all the houses have plain sashes without glazing bars. The side wall of No.18 has a doorway similar to those of the other houses. The 2 ground storey windows flanking it, and the middle upper-storey window have shouldered arches; outer windows in upper storey are canted bays. Rear walls (visible from Alexander Road), have been altered in some cases, but much original work remains. Nos 9-13, 16 & 17 retain barred sashes, usually of 6 panes per sash, although Nos 9-12 have triple-sashes with 4 panes per sash in the centre and 2 panes in the outer lights. Nos 10-13 & 17 have original hipped dormers with 2-pane sashes. No.9 has a gabled projection with half its sashes intact. INTERIORS: not inspected, except for No.17 and part of No.18. No.17 has moulded cornices in most rooms, including entrance passage and stair compartment. Ground-floor front room has ornate chandelier boss and original chimneypiece with scroll-brackets supporting mantelshelf. Round-headed wooden archway in entrance passage incised with Grecian ornament. Wooden open-well stair with thin, square-section balusters, voluted at the foot. An attractive Barnstaple terrace by Gould with more detail than might be expected on houses of this size and sympathetically designed to answer the late C18 terrace opposite.
