GV II

Terrace, originally of 10 houses (old list description), now mostly used as offices, restaurants etc. Probably 1840s, when Taw Vale was developed. Smooth-plastered mass wall construction; natural slate roofs; stacks with rendered shafts with some old pots. Centre 4 houses 3-storey, flanked by 3-storey-and-attic houses with lower rooflines and basements. Symmetrical 7:8:7-window range. Centre block has moulded eaves brackets and an eaves band; outer houses have cornices below parapets and mansard roofs. Ground floor with channelled rustication with moulded string at first-floor level. Round-headed doorways to outer blocks and round-headed windows, mostly glazed with plate glass sashes. First-floor windows have moulded architraves, some retaining probably original 12-pane sashes, some reglazed with later timber sashes. The middle block is more ornate with an anthemion balcony on iron brackets to the first floor and high-transomed French windows with cornices on consoles; second floor 12-pane sashes. The right-hand house of the right-hand block has a c1860s' cast-iron balcony. INTERIOR: not inspected but may retain features of interest. This terrace makes an important contribution to a fine group of C19 town houses on Taw Vale Parade. (Buildings of England: Pevsner N and Cherry B: Devon: London: 1989-: 159).
