Description
This is a house, built after 1819, likely by G.P. Manners. It is constructed of limestone ashlar to both the front and rear, with a double-pile roof and a parapeted front. The front has double Roman leaded windows, and a coped party wall to the right with two rebuilt brick stacks. A staircase is located to the rear.
The house is three storeys and has a basement, presenting a two-window front. The first floor features an eight/eight-sash window with a plain reveal, stone sill, and wrought iron balconette to the right, alongside a smaller two/two-horned sash window with a stone sill to the left. The second floor has a three/six-sash window with a plain reveal and stone sill to the right, and a matching smaller two/two-horned sash window to the left. The ground floor features an eight/eight-sash window with a plain reveal to the right, and a six-panel door with reeded panels, fielded panels with voided corners, and a plate glass fanlight within a round headed, plain reveal to the left. The basement has an eight/eight-sash window, partially above ground, with a grating in the pavement, alongside a small single-pane window to the right. A moulded cornice sits above the first floor, with a lintel at the eaves and a coped parapet above. A wrought iron footscraper is attached to the right of the door, and a fire insurance plate marked 'WEST OF ENGLAND EXETER' is positioned above the door. The partially visible rear elevation features glazing bar sashes and a wrought iron window guard to the first half-landing.
The interior has not been inspected. Northampton Street and its surrounding development began around 1791, designed by Thomas Baldwin as a trustee for William Pulteney. Construction continued from 1794 following the bankruptcy of the principal contractors, with elevations on leases signed by Thomas Chantry and John Pinch. Further development and plans were signed by G.P. Manners after 1819. The area suffered bomb damage in 1942, resulting in significant redevelopment of the lower part of the street.
