Description

Painswick House is a mid-19th century town house located on Fore Street in Plympton St Maurice. The building features a stucco exterior with decorative stucco details and a dry slate roof, which has stuccoed end stacks with dentilled cornices. It has a double-depth plan, likely consisting of two rooms at the front that flank a central entrance hall. The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front. There are segmental arches over the original six-pane hornless sash windows, except for the paired central two-pane sashes that have round-arched heads, all set within moulded architraves. Additional stucco details include a plinth, a first-floor sill string, an eaves string, and a central pilastered doorway with an entablature featuring a moulded cornice, along with an overlight and a four-panel door. The interior has not been inspected but is expected to be of interest.
